Hello! I’m an aspiring architect with experience in healthcare, hospitality, and residential design, creating projects that are responsive to the site, environment, and community. I plan, design and organize projects through all phases, including healthcare-focused projects under the jurisdiction of HCAI. I also perform construction administration, coordinate with consultants, and ensure quality through technical reviews and QA/QC processes.
I hold an M.Arch from UCLA and a B.S. in Civil Engineering, giving me a strong foundation in both design and engineering. Additionally, I completed a Graduate Certificate in Urban Humanities, exploring the intersections of architecture, urbanism, and culture. My academic work focused on contextual design, incorporating social, historical, and ecological aspects.
I am passionate about creating spaces that prioritize sustainability, inclusivity, and profound meaning for clients and communities alike.
