My creative path has been anything but linear, yet every twist and detour has led me closer to finding my purpose. I’ve always wanted to become an architect, a dream driven by a fascination with the built environment, perspective sketching, and craft modeling. No dream comes without challenges, and life’s obstacles have forced my goals and vision to adapt. In Community, Environment, and Planning (CEP), I broadened my understanding of the built environment to include urban planning, housing equity, and transit-oriented development. I’m particularly interested in adaptive reuse as a strategy to sustainably revitalize underused spaces while supporting surrounding communities. Architecture remains my passion, but now with a focus on ethical design, community well-being, and the human scale.
