The health and wellness program at KU introduced me to healthcare architecture and provided a platform to gain nationwide exposure via various competitions, conferences and symposiums. The internship gave me a head start in professional practice and upon graduation I worked as an architectural designer at Hoefer Wysocki, where I was involved in several large-scale medical office building designs. The H+W program developed within me a sense of enquiry regarding the design of healthcare spaces, therefore I have decided to pursue a Ph.D. at UIUC to conduct research on healthy places and aim to eventually pursue a career in academia.
