OBJECTIVE:
To graduate from the University of Florida with a Master’s degree in
Architecture, and then become a registered practicing architect and educator,
while gaining any experience that will prepare me for a successful future.
In addition to teaching first year design studios, my research at the University
of Florida involves cultural issues in Asia and their influences on architecture.
If accepted into the M.Sci. Pedagogy program at the University of Florida,
I intend to continue studying architecture in this region, especially the
development and effects of these changes at multiple scales.
