I was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland on March 17th, 1994 at St. Clare’s Hospital. I have a family of five which include my
Mom, my Dad and my two brothers; I was the “unique” middle child. Currently I am going to Bishops College High School as a level lll
student and am looking forward to a career in architecture. Despite being born on St. Patrick's day, I consider myself to be incredibly lucky in
the people I have met and the things that I have done in my seventeen years in Newfoundland. My interests and pure desire in school,
sports and the arts have all helped create the person that I am today.
At an early age I realized I had a strong desire and talent for the arts as I started producing acrylic paintings at the age of
seven. Designing and drawing have remained a passion of mine since my early youth. At young ages I began to design and construct
building and structures using any materials available. I took art lessons as a child and am currently completing an art course at my High
school.
Another great hobby of mine is sports, I continue to play and/or participate in Basketball, Volleyball, X-Country, Track and
Field, Skiing, and Golf. I have won many MVP awards as well as numerous player of the game certificates in my long sports career. In 2009,
I was selected for the U15 Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Basketball Team and am currently playing for Bishops College Senior
Basketball Team.
Receiving an honour's status at my middle school and high school have always been a requirement of mine. In 2010 I came
2nd place at my high schools science fair and later participated in the Eastern Newfoundland Regional Science Fair and placed first in Senior
Life Sciences. I have maintained a job since I was fifteen and am currently working at Footlocker, Avalon Mall as I have been for over two
year now. As I plan to continue my education I ask that you review my portfolio and consider me for admission to Ryerson University.

I have always viewed
sketching as a way to layout
initial thoughts and ideas in
a relatively fast amount of
time. With the efficiency of
sketching, it has enabled
myself and other novice
designers to really capture
the essence of architecture.
Architecture is much
more then the finished
products that most of us see
in our daily lives, there’s a
process and it all starts with
sketching. With sketching
you can project your ideas
into a real drawings with
shape and depth, all with
your mind. The real of
sketching is how simple it
can be and how little
materials it requires; You
can do it virtually anywhere.
The simplicity of this art form
makes this one of the oldest
known ways to portray your
ideas for others to see.

As the world becomes more and more populated, finding space for a recreational parks in dense cities is starting to seem out of reach. We must remind ourselves of possible future locations to place parks and sustainable buildings in our metropolitan hubs.

Efficient housing in the 21st
Century will be a key factor into being green and cutting down our carbon emissions. The above housing unit uses a combination of solar cells and wind powered turbines for its energy needs. The dynamic use of natural lighting enables lower energy consumption as well as aesthetic value. Multiple insulation panels help regulate temperature and produce max efficiency. These types of housing will last longer and remain cheaper as energy costs continue to rise.

FUTURE BUILDINGS Designed: November 15th, 2011 I designed this building to demonstrate how we can build the skyscrapers of tomorrow and maintain our commitment to the environment at the same time. These buildings are designed to be as eco-friendly as possible while still contributing structural support to withstand anything that nature has to throw at it. These buildings will be connected underground as well as through a skywalk to provide the ability to switch from building to building with ease. A unique triangle lattice surrounds a 360-degree glass outer shell. The round glass outer shell resists wind and looks aesthetically beautiful.
