About Me

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I attended the University of Houston and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the College of Architecture and Design with an accredited Bachelor of Architecture in 2018. I bring seven years of full-time professional experience in architecture, including two years in behavioral health technical design, three years in healthcare master planning, and two years in fabrication-focused design and shop management.

Rooted in architecture but not bound by it, I’m expanding my skills to join impactful, mission-driven team. Across disciplines, I prioritize work that is meaningful, equitable, and driven by clarity, not just in outcomes, but in how we get there.

I’m a systems thinker and purpose-driven designer who brings clarity, strategy, and empathy to complex challenges. Aligning values with action to create inclusive, data-informed solutions that improve both outcomes and the processes behind them..
