As an architecture student, the first thing that I can say I have learned over these four years is time management. With multiple 6 credit classes; being a teacher's assistant; having a full time schedule every year; and now doing research on "Women’s Place in Space: The Erasure of Women in Architecture – a Reconciliation,"; this is a skill that found me. Creativity is spread across my studio and hard-drive. Yet, on top of it all lay schedules and calendars, guiding me through the years. Deadlines are frequent, yet we are taught one principle: projects will never be finished. Ultimately artistic expression, every iteration of a project comes with a lifetime of potential. Therefore, I have learned to embrace finding comfort in the process above all else.
      Outside of studio, I spend fleeting summers working on my architecture portfolio, while also picking up every hour possible in the food-service industry. I have been working at restaurants since 2019, always leaving to go back to school. However, every day at work brought with it new experiences, in which I have learned skills to be forever grateful for. Coworkers and customers all have different days, such that conflict resolution and communication are two skills I exercised daily. ​
