About

I am a driven interdisciplinary civil engineering student who values integrity and displays dedication in every project I undertake. My main objective is to obtain a Ph.D. in civil engineering through research interests focused on the chemical properties of residual waste materials used in construction and the implications of sustainable civil engineering material integration in the concrete industry. Please reach out through message or email me at [email protected]. I love to talk and gain perspectives from those in industry, academia, and everything in between. Can't wait to hear from you!
