<i>Future career aspirations:</i> I see myself working to solve urban design issues in the face of climate change. My career goals include project-based collaboration to create a sustainable future.
<i>Top 3 goals for your time abroad:</i> 1. My first goal is to experience how another country's urban spaces respond to climate change. 2. Experience local involvement in urban development.
