FABRICATION (WIP)
I am a fourth year student at the University of Tennessee within their Bachelor of Architecture program.
Currently, I am working as a research assistant with Professor Mark Stanley on researching speculative futures in the Oak Ridge region and am a part of Space and Building Fabrication for the College of Architecture and Design at the university.
My current interests are in urban planning and urban zoning and how to make city’s better for the future through the use of architecture. Programs that have helped me with this have been working with the Civic Design Center during my study abroad in Nashville and using various GIS software to analyze and act. Other interests include the creation of handheld fabrication models and scene building in various render software.

Pandemonious Pundits
Interacting With the Rage Pundits of the Street
After producing an extensive research document on North Broadway in Knoxville and the concept of a 'rage pundit'—an expert who uses anger, discourse, influence, and chaos to divide audiences for revenue—production began on creating a site for such a streetscape. The structure below is meticulously organized into three distinct programs and soundscapes: newsrooms, media areas, and the Geese Overstimulation Room. Architecturally, the design emphasizes spatial interaction, with each area fostering unique auditory experiences. The soundscapes include the intense loudness of the G.O.R., the controlled interior acoustics of the news areas, and the serene tranquility of the Nest area on the western side of the structure. The interplay of these elements creates a dynamic, multifaceted environment
