​

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

I always had an eye for design, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to pursue engineering or architecture until I went in for my orientation in university. The engineering program was impacted and that led me to pursue architecture.

​

What do you do?

I'm an Architectural Designer and Project Manager at CH&D Architects.

​

What excites you in the work you do? 

The people (my colleagues, clients, contractors) have become a family to me that I enjoy working with. I believe work is boring if you’re not surrounded by the right people and once you surround yourself with a great circle, work becomes a passion.

​

Who or what inspires you professionally? 

Me, Myself, and I. I’m inspired by my struggles, accomplishments, and the growth over the years.

​

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?

My proudest professional accomplishment is to see my designs come to life. Experiencing the process from start to finish.
