I consider myself an Enthusiast of the Built Environment. I love buildings and the physical structures that help to define people’s lives. This passion has helped to shape my academic choices over the last few years and continues to drive my early career decisions. Currently I am a senior at Boston University studying Finance, and in the spring of 2010, I will be moving to Atlanta to pursue this passion through a career in real estate.
