Experience

I am an architectural designer and researcher whose work explores the intersections of culture, ecology, and the built environment. I bring creative intellect and research insight, with experience in conceptual design development, construction documentation, site coordination, and field research across diverse contexts. My work examines how situated knowledge, material practices, and spatial strategies can inform resilient designs and sustainable futures. I am a recipient of multiple fellowships and scholarships recognizing excellence, leadership, and erudition.
