What inspired you to choose a path in Architecture?

I have always been interested in art, but studying architecture was kind of an impulse decision back in high school. I knew I wanted to do something that can have direct impact on people.

Can you tell us your favorite memory over the past five years?

I have a lot of memories, but I think the relationships that I have formed over the past five years is definitely my favorite. The many coffee runs, chair races, late nights, study abroad… there are a lot of little things that made college memorable.

What advice do you have to incoming students about college/the program/getting involved?

My best piece of advice I have is to talk to EVERYONE, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. This is definitely something I had to get used to. Be involved. Have fun. Get sleep. Be weird.

What are your post-graduation plans?

After graduation, I plan to practice for one to two years, and then I hope to apply for graduate school for landscape and urban design.
