Bio

I am Founder/Board Director of Human Scale (https://www.humanscale.org/) which aims to create a positive impact in communities that deliver a mutual civic benefit to their members. We work with the communities hand in hand designing and building small scale projects. My goal is to obtain the Masters in Architecture, Landscape + Urbanism dual degree from Illinois Institute of Technology. I want to use my skills and knowledge to work with communities in need and improve their built environment. I have the ambition to be a leader in the design and architecture field; to make positive change in communities in need, and I am determined to be a role model to the younger generations; and be proof that everything is possible.
