My academic journey began at New York City College of Technology, where I pursued studies in Architecture, gaining proficiency in 2D, 3D, and digital communication across various software programs. Concurrently, I've accumulated two years of professional experience in both Architecture and Reality Corp. Within Architecture, I've contributed to residential and commercial projects, including competitions. Looking ahead, I aim to obtain an Architectural license within the next five years while continuing to expand my expertise and contribute to projects in NYC. Alongside my studies, I actively participate in the Architectural League, City Tech AIAS Chapter, AIAS Middle East, City Tech ArchClub, and NOMAS City Tech events, particularly enjoying lectures, volunteer opportunities, and First Fridays.
