Who is Alex?
I am the first in my family to go to college, so I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study. Architecture wasn’t on my mind until I received a newsletter from Illinois Tech, but it brought together my family’s work in construction and my interest in art. I worked hard to get to Illinois Tech, and I’ve got as much in return—I’ve turned my designs into reality, maximized my time in Chicago, and am now building a career with unlimited possibilities.
That’s Interesting
I helped start a student-led architecture podcast. We talk to different architects around Chicago about their stories and their journey to architecture. I’ve been able to connect with some fantastic people and have some wonderful conversations.
