Studying Urban Planning & Design at Rutgers University
Minoring in Business Administration & Architectural Studies
Currently a sophomore, I have taken courses including Intro to GIS, Graphic Communication for Planners, as well as Intro to Site Planning. I have been able to learn programs like ArcGIS Pro, Civil 3D (AutoCAD), SketchUp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, as well as learning the principles of hand drawing Site Plans. Combining this with my experience as a YouTube and Social Media creator, where I’ve taught myself programs like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Lightroom, I have a diverse skillset catering to a large number of needs.
My portfolio is still very much in the development stage, as I have been focusing my efforts on growing my Social Media Platforms and completing my courses at Rutgers. However, I am actively seeking internships in the planning & design field, not limited to just urban-related markets.
PORTFOLIO
FIXING THE I-195 AND CR-537 INTERSECTION
(JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ)
Given how frequently I travel over this stretch of road, I took it upon myself to create a concept for one way to improve the intersection. I decided to “complete the cloverleaf” interchange to eliminate the need for the traffic light that allows traffic moving on I-195 West to take Exit 16 and access CR-537 West. This would theoretically reduce the volume of traffic stopping on CR-537 East as vehicles travel towards Freehold due to the lack of a traffic light, allowing for a more seamless exit/entrance with I-195.
