About 

I grew up in England and France and love to explore different cultures and environment. This pushed me to study at the University of Southern California to gain both a solid and eye opening experience.  My summers have been spent working in the States and abroad in an effort to explore new cities and cultures.  I have spent a semester abroad studying emerging architecture and urbanism in China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. I have recently graduated from USC with honors and wish to pursue a career in Architecture.
