EDUCATION

WORK EXPERIENCE

“My academic path in Tall Buildings and Vertical Urbanism has trained me to design at multiple scales—building, city, and landscape. Alongside my current coursework in Landscape Architecture Theory, I bring strong technical skills in AutoCAD, Illustrator, and 3D modeling, combined with practical knowledge of planting design and tree systems. This multidisciplinary foundation allows me to contribute meaningfully to Benesch’s mission of enhancing infrastructure and communities through responsive, sustainable design.” Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL Expected Dec 2025 Master of Science – Tall Building and Vertical Urbanism Relevant Courses: Design and Planning of Tall Buildings, Strategic Master Planning of Tall Building Plazas, Technical Aspects of Tall Buildings, Coding-Based Generative Tools for Design, Introduction to Parametric Design, History, Theory, and Criticism I: Landscape Architecture Theory Software: AutoCAD (proficient), Adobe Illustrator (proficient), Photoshop (Proficient), Rhino/Grasshopper & Lumion (3D modeling/ rendering)
