Earning a half tuition scholarship from East Los Angeles Community College, I transferred into the 3rd year of the 5 year program of Woodbury University in the Fall of 2010. I transitioned into the University culture with an ambition to design genuine and meaningful architecture that would spark a dialogue to challenge conventional design. Studying abroad in India and Cuba expanded my understanding of cultural design and the different alternatives in using resources in architecture.
