Education 

University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, US, MArch, Architecture

During my studies at the University of Florida in the DCP Master program, I pursued a major in Architecture. The academic journey was marked by engaging studio projects that delved into aspects such as materiality, detail, space, texture, and storytelling. These projects not only honed my design skills but also fostered a deep appreciation for the multifaceted nature of architectural expression. Additionally, my coursework included insightful classes on Urban Design, Revit, and Detail design, providing a well-rounded foundation in various facets of the field. The pinnacle of my Master's program was the research project, where I delved into the captivating realm of Japan's Metabolism Architecture. This endeavor allowed me to explore innovative and sustainable design principles inspired by Japanese architectural movements, contributing to a rich and comprehensive educational experience.
