Sustainable Urbanism & Design student at Tulane University with a professional focus on Construction Project Management.

🏫 Tulane '27
★ Available Now

I am a Sustainable Urbanism and Design student at Tulane University (expected graduation May 2027) with a professional focus on Construction Project Management. My background combines technical field experience — including internships where I utilized Procore, Bluebeam, and Excel for site logs and quality oversight — with a practical foundation in carpentry and landscape design.

I am currently expanding my expertise at the intersection of Data Science and AI, specifically focusing on the ethical implications and practical tools of the field through my involvement with the Tulane Data Collective. My academic and professional interests are complemented by a strong creative background as a graphic designer and as an award-winning acrylic painter.

I aim to leverage my skills in critical thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and emerging technologies to make a meaningful impact in the construction and design industries.
