About 

Hello! I am a recent M.Arch graduate from Cal Poly Pomona, where I also earned my bachelor's degree in Urban and Regional Planning. Throughout my academic journey, I have cultivated a deep interest in housing, place-making, and community development, complemented by a keen fascination with detailing and construction.

 With a strong foundation in both planning and architecture, I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills in real-world settings. I am enthusiastic about learning and excited to embark on new opportunities in the architectural field.
