Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and raised between Denver, Colorado, and Seattle, Washington, I developed an early appreciation for how cities, communities, and the built environment shape daily life. These varied experiences continue to inform my understanding of architecture as both a design discipline and a civic responsibility.

I earned a Bachelor of Architecture with a minor in Sustainability from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where I was awarded the Presidential Merit Scholarship. I recently completed a Master of Advanced Architectural Research Studies (M.AARS) at the University of Southern California, specializing in City Design + Housing. My academic work has focused on sustainable urban development, housing, circular material systems, and the social role of architecture in shaping equitable communities.

I approach the design process through iteration, collaboration, and continuous learning. Grounded in honesty, accountability, and open communication, I believe that acknowledging limitations, sharing knowledge, and working across disciplines are essential to creating meaningful and impactful design solutions. I am particularly drawn to work that prioritizes accessibility, sustainability, and public engagement.

My work is guided by three core values: clarity, truthfulness, and communication. I strive to translate complex ideas into forms that engage rather than divide, allowing architecture to be understood, questioned, and shared. Through this approach, I seek to strengthen the relationship between people, place, and the built environment.

As I begin my professional career, I am eager to contribute to projects that advance sustainable design, foster community, and create lasting positive impact. I believe architecture has the power to improve daily life, strengthen social connections, and help shape a more resilient and equitable future.
