About 

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Maryland pursuing a B.S. degree in Architecture with a minor in Sustainability. I have a strong passion for eco-centric design and the creation of civic spaces. I aspire to design buildings that not only bring joy and connection to people but also promote a connection to a healthy environment, allowing individuals to experience the world more holistically and enhance their quality of life whether they are within a building or not.

I am currently working to construct my competition-winning design for a sustainable architectural canopy on the University of Maryland Engineering School campus. The design incorporates a self-sustaining watering system to support living plants, creating both shade and an engaging, eco-conscious space. 

Additionally, I recently presented studio work at the University of Maryland’s AI in Architecture Symposium, showcasing the use of AI workflows to rapidly visualize landscape and facade conditions and enhance design processes.
