{"version":"0.3.0","atoms":[],"cards":[],"markups":[],"sections":[[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"My fascination with the built environment began at a very young age. It first started in the 4th grade, when I began \u201cdesigning\u201d houses using a rudimentary computer program we had installed on the family computer. I would spend days staring at the screen, creating, and tweaking the multitude of homes I had built. From that moment on, I was hooked! I began my Architectural studies at Hudson Valley Community College in 2007. I later transferred to the University of Buffalo and then finally to the University of Hartford, where I received my Bachelor\u2019s of Science in Architectural Technology in 2012. Upon graduation, I began my career creating store layout drawings for the Golub Corporation in Schenectady, NY. Following my time at Golub, I started a position right down the road at Synthesis Architects, where I had the great opportunity to work on a variety of interesting and challenging projects. Finally in 2016, I moved to CSArch where I remain employed today. While working at CSArch I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work on numerous K-12 projects and experience tremendous personal and professional growth.

In 2019, I became a licensed Architect after many long nights of rigorous study. One of the lessons imparted on me throughout the process, was the importance of helping others and sharing knowledge. This will be my first year as part of the AIAENY Board; I hope to pay back to others the guidance and mentoring I\u2019ve received throughout my career."]]]]}
