I am a third-year architecture student at Clemson University passionate about designing healthcare and community-focused spaces that improve people's lives. Growing up in a single-parent household taught me resilience, independence, and the value of creating stability. Balancing a rigorous major with financial challenges has made me disciplined and resourceful. I'm currently pursuing architecture with minors in business administration and finance to combine design and strategic thinking for a future in architecture/project management and property development. As I work to fund my education primarily on my own, these experiences continue to drive my goal of creating impactful, human-centered spaces while building a secure future.
