What I was doing before RWU: 

Before I came to Rhode Island, I was working on my undergraduate degree in Architecture at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. 

My future plans:

Among my many goals for the future, I would certainly like to work for a residential architecture firm—ideally one focusing on traditional or classical design, which is where my interests lie. 

My favorite parts of my student experience at RWU: 

The variety of opportunities available to students is great: clubs, sports, lectures, etc. When I applied to Roger Williams University, I really appreciated the respect and timely manner in which administration did their outreach, not to mention the great classes in architecture that are offered here as well! 

Best advice for students planning to go to graduate school: 

Do not procrastinate in anything. Beyond this, I would also advise any prospective students to engage with their local communities as well as with their university. 

Favorite things to do in the area: 

I enjoy Newport very much—especially the beaches and the historical city. Being close to Boston is also a very nice thing.
