About 

During 5+ years as an Architect and 9 honorable years of active duty service in the Navy, I developed a true passion for problem solving. I was fortunate to see the importance of leadership and design while working under several remarkable mentors who were virtuosos in the art of inspiring others. I excel at designing inclusive sustainable places and motivating others. I am a driven licensed architect, who can provide both hard work and a willingness to learn. I am in search of an opportunity to develop and add to skills/qualifications which includes:

  • Licensed Architect with NCARB reciprocity

  • Reliable leader, responsible for a large contingent of highly trained individuals in a demanding multi-disciplinary field

  • Responsive Collaborator, developing and nurturing community/client/consultant relationships

  • Proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Rhino, Lumion, MSOffice (Incl. MSProject), and GenAI tools 

  • Ability to work independently or as a team player in a fast paced work environment

Awards 

2022 AIA San Diego - Student Honor Award, 1st Place

The American Institute of Architects, San Diego Chapter (AIASD), proudly announces the 2021/2022 Design Award recipients—a list honoring innovative design, with an emphasis on sustainability over a broad range of categories. This year had a particular focus on design excellence in San Diego- celebrating those projects that demonstrate exemplary design skill of formal, functional and technical requirements, including ecological and environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and a strong sense of place.

Award winners were announced to the AIA San Diego membership on Thursday, May 19th at the annual Design Awards ceremony. The 2021/2022 Design Awards ceremony took place at the Guild Hotel in Downtown San Diego following a two-year hiatus of traditional awards gatherings.

In March, a five-person jury deliberated between more than 100 entries and refined the list to a select group who were honored from the podium at the awards ceremony. The buildings span a spectrum from residential to institutional and included multifamily, museum, commercial, municipal, research, hospitality, utilitarian, and urban design.

This year’s jury comprised five dynamic voices from AIA Texas: Jury Chair: Andrew Herdeg, FAIA, Maija Kreishman, AIA, Shelby Blessing, AIA, Trinity White, AIA, and Ricardo Maga Rojas, Assoc. AIA.
