I am now a licensed architect in the state of Massachusetts!
I completed my undergraduate degree from Wentworth Institute of Technology in 2007, then dual enrolled for my masters of architecture at the Boston Architectural College and for my masters of business administration from University of Massachusetts – Boston.
After wrapping up my MBA I transferred to Lawrence Technological University near Detroit to finish my M.Arch degree. Meanwhile I had been working for TROJB in Boston right out of undergrad and it wasn’t until about 7 years later that I decided to start off on my own full-time.
