I spent the first 12 years of my career working as an international architect in Dubai, Oman, and Iran, where I was involved in every stage of the design process, from concept, schematic, and design development to construction documentation and oversight as a site engineer.
My international experience included both large-scale commercial projects ranging from retail shops to office towers to mixed-use residential, and residential projects ranging from single-family villas to larger multi-generational palace complexes.
In San Diego, I spend my first two years working on high-end, coastal residential renovations in La Jolla. I am now a job captain working on large-scale commercial projects.
In 2019, I earned my Masters of Architecture degree from New School of Architecture + Design, where I won several competitions for sustainable design, graduated top of my class, and was awarded the prestigious AIA Henry Adams Medal of Excellence.
I’m currently studying and on the path for licensure. All my hours are complete (with over 6 years of NCARB approved AXP hours) and I am eligible to begin sitting for exams.
