Hello, my name is Rezeea Alam, and I am from Thomas Edison Career and Technical Highschool in Queens!

What excites you about interning at Open House New York?

Something that excites me is learning more about the city I live in. I’ve been to various different places in the city, yet somehow, I feel like there are so many places I have missed out on or never really learned about.

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

So far, I really like Soho. Soho is such a nice and beautiful neighborhood to be in. There are nice cafes and restaurants and aesthetic places everywhere.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I will probably just be finishing college, and I see myself working. Hopefully I will have a set career path I want to do since I am still undecided.

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

I would unlock The Met. The Met is just one of my favorite buildings ever, and every time I go I see a different, new exhibit that I never seen before.
