About 

I am currently working as a Junior Architectural Designer at Wimberly, Allison, Tong & Goo (WATG). With over two years of cumulative professional experience in hospitality, retail, corporate, and educational facilities, both local and abroad, I have worked on projects from Initial Concept through Design Development, with some experience up to Construction Administration phase. I am actively enrolled in NCARB’s AXP and in process of completing the AREs.

At WATG, I was assigned to work on large scale mixed-use projects in Design Development phase and was able to quickly become a skilled Revit user. I gained technical knowledge in building construction and became more familiar with local codes while working under the project architect. Aside from drafting and 3D modeling skills, I am proficient in 3D visualization and have produced high quality in-house renderings for WATG.

As a graduate student trained at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), I am familiar with the latest technologies in the field and its application in the workplace environment helps discover new design possibilities. Before becoming an architecture student, I was a finance and art history double major in my undergraduate years. My path towards this field has not been straightforward but the detour has helped me become a well-rounded individual.
