Hi, I'm Joah!

I'm 21 years old, studying at Georgia Tech in pursuit of my Bachelor's in Architecture. Georgia Tech was always my dream school, and I worked hard to transfer here after my first year in college.

I am blessed to have the opportunity to attend and absolutely love the Architecture program. I was lucky enough to be accepted to my school's very limited Study Abroad program in Barcelona, Spain this summer.

This opportunity within the Barcelona program would allow me my first abroad trip to Europe, which has been a lifelong dream of mine. As a first-generation student, I chose to work in sales over the past two summers to save up enough to pay for rent in the city and other basic living expenses while in school. With the money left over after bills, I do not have enough to cover the full program costs.

Having transferred from a different architecture curriculum at Kennesaw State University, I have had some catching up to do to get "back on track." Taking this studio would not only enrich my architectural education with a foreign perspective on the practice but also allow me to attain a bachelor's within 4 years of my high school graduation, allowing me to pursue my master's sooner. This program would realign my path to graduation while granting a fresh perspective moving forward along my journey to becoming a licensed architect.
