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.

Charting and Analyzing the Gulch area in Nashville to Map Various Phenomena and Experiences
The Gulch is a high-end neighborhood located in Nashville, Tennessee, between the city's Music Row District and downtown. This area boasts some of the city's most highly-trafficked and construction-ridden spots, with constant daily noise and movement. These maps follow the process of combining ArcGIS datasets with personal field visits to generate questions from the data, which are then answered within the maps. The various maps below see analysis over the property timeline of the wider Gulch area as well as the possible impact of noise and foot traffic that the bustling neighborhood hears constantly.
