A great honor to speak at the UN Global Student Video Conference, presenting the design concept for The Ark of Return at the United Nations, I owe a huge thank you to MR. Rodney Leon for his trust in me as a project architect on his team. Managing cultural and institutional projects in New York City and a broad was an unparalleled experience that fundamentally shaped my design and project management skills. Thank you, Mr. Leon, for teaching me so much and for the opportunity to work on such significant projects.
