About 

As an architect I seek to make a difference through design I take more responsibility for my projects than is expected of me, I am deeply involved in the projects assigned to me, as well as in everything I do, from professional projects to those that are carried out during my free time. I am an entrepreneur; I meet my goals.

I currently work at a development and construction company as a project manager involved in projects ranging from vertical housing to urban infrastructure. In the process of building urban infrastructure, being directly involved with communities, I have come to understand their needs and the impact of new projects at a deeper level and in light of different aspects such as political, economic, social and environmental.
