Major and Graduation

Bachelor of Architecture in Architecture, Expected Graduation: 2027

Why did you choose your major/what do you want to do with your degree?

I chose architecture because it encompasses every component of the environment that surrounds us. From an analytical, design, and even practicality point of view, architecture leads to the basis and foundation of our communities. As a future architect, I aspire to establish positive influences within the opportunities the field provides.

What is your favorite thing about the Camras Scholars Program?

My favorite thing about the Camras Scholars Program would be the variety of opportunities relating to academics, service, and leadership it provides for the betterment of us as students, but also as the university as a whole.

Where do you see yourself in 20 years?

In twenty years, I envision myself as a respectable architect that makes a positive impact onto the environment, whether that be through a focus of sustainability, preservation, or another niche matter within the field. 

How do you think you best represent what it means to be a Camras scholar?

Throughout high school, and now continuing in college, I have continued to take advantage of my skills toward service and leadership through a variety of volunteer opportunities ranging from Habitat for Humanity, coaching children in soccer, and assisting at a range of food shelters.
