I would describe myself as a passionate educator and researcher in architecture and design, with a strong focus on integrating technology and creativity into learning. My lessons are tailored for college and undergraduate students, where I aim to deepen their understanding of architectural principles and inspire innovative thinking. Additionally, I am happy to mentor high school students who are interested in exploring architecture and design, helping them build foundational skills and prepare for further studies in these fields.
