With undergraduate and graduate degrees in Architecture and Public Policy respectively, I chose to pursue my doctoral education in Urban and Regional Science which amalgamates urban planning principles with social science & economics theory. My dissertation focused on examining the housing price impacts on single-family residential properties before and after proximate Superfund remediation along with contemporaneous sociodemographic change.

Personal Home Workspace
Try reducing your clutter to the absolute bare essential and you’ll find how difficult it can be. Inspired by these brilliant examples on the web, I’m planning on making my workspace more efficient at least at home first.
