About 

I recently graduated from the graduate program at NewSchool of Architecture & Design, although my undergraduate studies were completed at San Diego State University where I attained a Bachelor of Arts in Urban & Regional Analysis in the Geography department. SDSU courses improved my all around communication skills while presenting information related to public policy, CEQA/NEPA, city and recreational planning, world cities conflicts, and bi-national environmental problems.  My Next  goal is to complete complete the required experience hours to take the California licensing examination. In my time at NSAD I have learned from several active architects as I worked on design projects that would upon completion be presented in front of a panel of architects. This work has given me experience in completing group projects, working in a fast pace environment, and the experience of presenting my designs in front of groups of people.
