Based in Los Angeles, I am an interdisciplinary designer passionate about using architecture to promote social equity and environmental sustainability. The experience I garnered at the Feminist Research Institute, Design and Construction Management, and several large community participatory Design projects at UC Davis has given me invaluable experience in all parts of the spatial design process--research, concept development, architectural drafting, materials selection, model-making, rendering, furniture installation, and design building. I am interested in architectural design opportunities to work on projects in environmental design, resilient housing, and public institutional spaces.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Design and minor in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies from the University of California, Davis.

The UC Davis Design Program, the only comprehensive academic design unit in the University of California system, delivers a research focused undergraduate (B.A.) curriculum that fully integrates design history, theory and criticism, with design thinking, making, writing, visual literacy, and creative practice.
