What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to contribute to sustainable design projects and engage with communities.

I am a junior year architecture student at Pratt Institute, deeply committed to sustainable design and community-centered architecture. My academic journey has equipped me with the skills to translate design concepts into detailed models and visuals, ensuring graphic clarity in all my projects.

As the Founder and Community Engagement Lead for The Sahayak Project, I honed my abilities in design and management, creating impactful posters and managing outreach initiatives. My role as an Executive Board Member for the American Institute of Architecture Students has further developed my leadership skills, allowing me to effectively manage social media platforms and coordinate events.
