A creative generalist by nature, I am drawn to the interconnections of Art and Technology.
Ten years of service demonstrates the implementation of technical designs for systems integration, sensor technology, image analysis, and instrumentation, while engaging in increasingly complex frameworks. Synthesizing a diverse array of technical and artistic ideations exemplifies the latest creative projects.

United States Air Force, Aviano, IT, Avionic Sensors Technician
Verified technical drawings to maintain optical, electro-mechanical, and avionic sensor systems in a mission critical environment, named Avionics Professional of the Year and promoted out of cycle.
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, US, Bachelors, Architectural Studies
This major features coursework in three areas: Critical Studies, Design and Technology. The curriculum introduces the fundamental ordering systems of architecture: form, space, tectonics and program and their relationships to political, social and cultural constructs. The critical studies sequence builds a foundation in critical thinking that engages historical and contemporary disciplinary contexts. These strong critical thinking skills are practiced in the design studio as assignments that introduce longstanding disciplinary questions, engage the social role of architecture, and respond to particular audiences, geographic contexts and programmatic activities. Critical thinking drives the technology sequence with assignments that question emerging technologies, conventional and innovative material assemblies, and the role of architectural representation.
