Building Permit

Expediting at The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs in Washington DC ( DCRA) as a work- study, assisted me in understanding the reality within design and how the code regulates life safety.

Preserving Historic District’s helps one remember how far into the future our society is.

The DCRA are intelligent individuals that are associated with writing code. Working with code creators are a way to make change.

Carpentry

Attending “Monmouth County Carpentry Vocational School” cultivated my interest in building and fabrication. This was my introduction to communicating in 2d and 3d, drawing plans & team work.

These hands on skills transitioned to community college where my abilities spoke for me in an elective construction class. The professor introduced me to Architecture as a career path.
