When I was very young, I wanted to be an archeologist. There was something distinctly interesting to me about finding out what an architectural object was used for in the past. Through the artistic process (that I was involved in during my high school education), I discovered that I could explore what things should be through design. At this point, I pivoted my goals towards architectural design as a career. In returning to school for my M.S. in Architecture History, Theory, & Society at UC Berkeley, I returned to discovering what architecture once was. Going forward, I hope to be both a designer and a scholar.
