“When I was in high school, I majored in
graphic design and commercial arts,
so I always knew I wanted to pursue
a career in design. It wasn't until my
sophomore year that I became
interested in architecture. During my
senior year,I participated in a
weekly internship program
where I researched architects
and recreated their buildings in SketchUp.
