There were many moments in my life leading to the answer of the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Moments of sitting in a cold garage at a makeshift table hammering two pieces of wood together and calling it a skyscraper or drawing floor plans of my future dream home. One could chalk it up to keeping warm from the harsh winter breaks spent in northern Canada, but I felt an excitement by this type of making.
Fast forward 14 years, now in my fifth year of architecture school and I am realizing how lucky I was to know what I wanted to be when I grew up. To be apart of such a collaborative and expansive profession, one that the people willingly push themselves to their breaking point.
My wish when entering into this profession is to continue pushing myself. Whether it is through professional motives, continuing education , traveling, teaching, or all of the above.
Thank you to everyone in my life who has continuously supported me and my endeavors.
