Bio

I see design as a medium for community building and architecture as a platform for connectivity. My goal is to design spaces that mediate conversations and encourage understanding between ourselves, our communities, and our environments. Spaces that work to create sustainable futures and healthier lives. Come build a better world with me.

    High-Achieving Athletes Scholarship
    I have always loved to chase. As a child, it used to be games of tag; now the game is more abstract. I chase down goals and dreams: to be the first student-athlete in the architecture department, to be a graduate student, to be an architect, to compete at NCAA nationals, to place top-10 as a team, to be an elite trail runner. In tag, I never gave up, because the only thing of importance was to play. I carry the same mantra with NCAA running. Every day is a chance to play, to chase, to be a happy runner.
