University of South Florida, MArch, Master of Architecture and Community Design
In the School of Architecture and Community Design I took many core, advanced and community design courses which has helped increase my general understanding of environmental design. My thesis emphasizes architecture and community design proficiency, technical competency, and applied research community design of the post-earthquake urban fabric of Port-Au-Prince Haiti. Emphasized with traveling throughout the United States to internationally from Japan to British Colombia, I was able to study myriad forms of community and human habitat and creating environments to experience and appreciate the poetry of architecture. I also gained some construction experience the design-build projects.
