I am a young aspiring architect from Northern New Mexico. I have had employment opportunities at firms ranging from small (2-4) to midsized (50-70). I have been a team member on various project types, from home remodels to larger educational additions/modernizations, and most recently pre-fabricated modular residential. Throughout my schooling, I have gained a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration. Within the field of architecture, I have a passion for earthen architecture and digital fabrication. Outside the profession, I enjoy gardening, biking, hiking, cooking, being outdoors, and spending time with my family and pets.

As a dual-degree master's candidate for architecture and landscape architecture, I participated in studios focused on housing, ecology, and equity in the urban built environments. I had the opportunity to participate in two study abroad studios, Scan-Design, and Architecture in Mexico City. Both courses explored urban relationships between housing, stormwater management, public spaces, multi-modal transportation, and their effects on equity and social structures in the built environment. I was employed as a shop staff assistant at the school's FABLAB and a teaching assistant for multiple courses.
