LEED AP+ Building Design & Construction
Director of Emerging Professionals & Outreach at AIA Pasadena & Foothill Chapter
IDP Auxiliary Coordinator at NCARB
I am a highly motivated design professional with the belief that Architecture has the unique role to serve as a catalyst for positive community growth through healthy design solutions. In the short time since graduating from Woodbury University’s School of Architecture in 2010, I have continued my efforts within the field of Architecture by actively pursuing licensure as well as working for such notable firms as Oyler Wu Collaborative, FSY Architects, and my current position at Gangi Architects. As Project Designer for the Citizen Architects Committee I continue to collaborate with Pasadena Community Gardens to develop a design for the first edible community garden in Pasadena.
