About 

With a Bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University, I am a passionate designer deeply committed to creating spaces that enrich lives. My journey as an emerging architect is fueled by a passion for leveraging accessibility and accommodations to enhance people’s daily experiences. Ambitious and collaborative with a willingness to learn, I excel as a team player while my innovative skill set and ideas help me create stunning visuals and graphics in project design. Finding comfort in discomfort motivates me to strive for small daily advancements despite the obstacles I encounter. Challenges fuel my creativity driving me to explore limitless solutions and strengthen my optimism within every opportunity. Throughout my professional life, family responsibilities, exercise routine, and beyond, I remain proactive and maintain a positive mindset in order to achieve my goals. I aspire to serve as an inspiration to fellow architects using my perseverance and adaptability to empower others toward success within our community.
