About 

I have been working in Architecture for over ten years and love the creativity and challenge of the profession.  I will forever remember walking into my first built project.  That is something you have to experience to understand: inhabiting an idea.  Excited to continue to grow, learn, design and build.

Graduated with a Bachelors in Architecture from California Polytechnic State University.  Has worked full time in Architecture for ten years.  Managed variety of projects of varying scales and complexity both in and out of California.  Currently resides in Oakland, CA.
