Being at Penn the last three years has been an experience. I have been pushed past my comfort zones and I have evolved as a designer. I have also been able to pursue what I am really passionate about and turn it into what I want to do after leaving school. I've appreciated the opportunity to obtain a certificate in Ecological Architecture and have enjoyed the interdisciplinary collaborations I have been able to be a part of.

It has been so much fun to be a part of multiple student organizations and having the privilege to lead a few of them have made my time at Penn much more meaningful. Getting to know students from all across Weitzman was amazing and the friendships and connections made, I will never forget.

I'm excited to take what I've learned over the last three years and truly make an impact where I can.
