I am from Santa Cruz, California, a town that admires and celebrates creativity and expressing your individual voice. Santa Cruz has inspired me to become a better designer, allowing me to draw inspiration from the culture, the people, and the ocean. I spent 9 months living in Copenhagen, Denmark, and traveling around Europe. Each new travel destination has allowed me to gain a new global perspective on how closely connected people and architecture are. 

I am a fifth-year architecture student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. I currently have one year left of my undergraduate degree. I am also pursuing a Sustainable Environments minor and an Environmental Studies minor, which I hope to incorporate into my architectural designs. 

I am an adventurer, an artist, a swimmer, a dog lover, and most importantly, an observer, drawing inspiration from everything around me.
