​

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

I don’t recall when I first learned of architecture, but I decided to pursue the profession after being exposed to a friend’s studio my freshman year in college. I transferred into architecture and was challenged in a way I had never felt before.

​

What do you do?

I design and manage luxury multi-family projects from programming through construction, and serve on the Leadership Team for my company. I also volunteer my free time in servitude of giving back to the profession of architecture.

​

What excites you in the work you do?

I get excited by the challenge of designing luxury custom multi-family projects, which combine the intimacy of residential design with the scale of commercial architecture. This includes customization and managing several stakeholders needs.

​

Who or what inspires you professionally?

I am inspired constantly by my collaborative team of architects, interior designers and landscape architects, and the engaging clients we are fortunate enough to work with, all who are passionate about delivering beautiful and successful projects.

 

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?

I had the honor of being nominated to the Texas Society of Architects Board of Directors Vice President of Professional Development for 2021-2022, something I have worked hard to achieve and a responsibility that drives me daily.
