What excites you about interning at Open House New York?

I’m really excited to see how OHNY finds places in NYC and how they organize events in those places.

What’s your favorite neighborhood or place in New York?

Greenwich Village, it’s like the more quiet version of NYC. With the forestation covering the brownstones and the beautifully designed buildings I would love to live there.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I really do not know where I see myself anywhere particularly in 5 years mainly because I have so many aves of interest. While I do see myself pursuing botany and fine art, I don’t have any specific jobs I see myself in at the moment.

If you could ‘unlock’ any building in New York, what would it be?

Dream Downtown. I have never seen the inside I’ve just always thought it was really cool.
