What you don’t know about me

I have an identical twin sister who I am very close to. Like other twins, I don’t think we look all that similar, but everyone else says we do!

My top bucket list item is

To go on a trip around Asia; I would especially like to visit Hong Kong. I love learning about different cultures and trying new food.

My guilty pleasure is

When I'm feeling down or need energy, I blast One Direction’s entire discography. I still know the lyrics to every song.

Why Aptus?

I chose Aptus for its rich diversity of projects. Not any one project is exactly alike; therefore, each day there is always something new to learn. The office is full of passionate people, and that shines through in our projects. I also love the casual office culture that has been cultivated so I can wear my favorite comfy sweater and jeans to work!

Preferred era in architecture

I am really into 20th century Scandinavian architecture, especially for interiors. It is a very clean and minimal design style that uses a lot of natural materials and daylight. While it is a minimal style, it is also cozy. Whenever I get to furnish my own home, I would definitely follow some design cues from Scandinavian interior design.
