About Me.
I've known I wanted to become and architect since I was 7 years old. I'm passionate about sustainable design and especially interested in the effects of building performance on human wellbeing.
My long-term goal is to become an architect that contributes to the transition of the built environment into a healthier, more sustainable one for both humans and the planet.
Besides architecture, I'm passionate about dance which I've been doing for over 10 years.
