| I am currently in my first year in a masters of Urban Planning Program at New York University. I am concentrating on Environmental Planning and am very interested in green design and green building. I have previously worked in Honduras and Paraguay where I studied rural infrastructure development. These two trips were particularly rewarding for me and were eventually what motivated me to pursue a masters in Urban Planning. The workshop in Mumbai sounds like the perfect opprunity to apply what I have been learning at school in a much different setting than New York. |
