I grew up dancing, then I learned how to paint and later became involved in theatre. I knew that I wanted to have a career invested in the arts, but I also enjoyed academic work. I love the detailed articulation of design, and when applied to things like architecture, how the possibilities are endless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What kind of career do you hope to have?<\/strong><br>I hope to become a licensed architect who publishes work that improves the community in some way, shape or form. I am interested in doing research and applying it to executed projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is your favorite thing about The David R. Ravin School of Architecture?<\/strong><br>My favorite thing about the UNC Charlotte School of Archtecture is the sense of community. As someone who has grown up in such a variety of art fields, I appreciate the interdisciplinary connections. It makes me feel like I belong in the school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you participate in any community activities or work in the Charlotte arts community?&nbsp;<\/strong><br>I attend Women in Architecture meetings, I am a student representative for the second-year architecture students, and I love to attend athletic games on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can you describe your experience as a scholarship student?<\/strong><br>I am currently on two scholarships, the Lambla one from UNC Charlotte and UNCSA&#8217;s Tuition Grant Program Scholarship. More specifically as a Lambla Scholarship Winner, going through the scholarship process has been an interesting process in itself. It shows the priorities that sponsors put into helping people who give back. I have a lot of public work under my belt, from high school in both Hickory and Winston-Salem but once I got to college I just didn&#8217;t feel as motivated. But by receiving this scholarship it&#8217;s really encouraged me to get back in the community more, specifically here at Charlotte. This year I have joined the WIAS club, participated in AIAS events, and became one of the representatives for second year architecture students. I would like to continue to engage with campus opportunities and my peers around me. I think it&#8217;s allowed me to grow and learn a lot about what&#8217;s going on around me rather than what&#8217;s just going on in my own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When you are not in class, studying, or working, what do you like to do for fun?<\/strong><br>I love to go to the gym to lift, reading classical novels, and painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.A. in Architecture and a Minor in Urban Studies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":53965,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"no-sidebars.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_clt_a11y_last_scan":"1780423614","_clt_a11y_has_violations":"0","_clt_a11y_violations":"[]","_clt_a11y_suppressions":"","_clt_a11y_needs_validation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[171],"tags":[39],"class_list":["post-52057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-student-spotlights","tag-architecture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
