​

How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?

I wanted to be an architect ever since I was six years old, I have always been drawn to the built environ- ment and the designs behind it. I was introduced to floor plans from magazines, art & design books at an early age and of course my lego set.

​

What do you do?

I practice architecture and design for a variety of building types. More importantly I’m an advocate and mentor for many students who dream of being in this field.

​

What excites you in the work you do?

To see a creation that you have envisioned or lines you drew actually leap off the page and construct an actual space. Leaving a positive impression on the word around us and being able to physically experience and walk into those dreams.

​

Who or what inspires you professionally?

People inspire me daily, and the needs of those people. Collaborative and activism design really drive me to be a better designer.

​

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?

I’m very proud of my latest endeavor, Architecture Workshops. This program introduces students to the fields of architecture, design, & construction. Focus on engaging youth who are interested in exploring careers in the AEC industry.
