Howdy! I am currently an architectural designer at Heights Venture Architects and student at the University of Houston, where I am working towards my Master of Architecture, as my long-term goal is to become a licensed architect. I am also a Texas A&M University former student, where I earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design and minors in Art and Architectural History, and Sustainable Architecture and Planning.
When did I know I wanted to be an architect? When I was in fifth grade, my dad brought me an old laptop with a home designing software. He didn't say much about it, and so I taught myself the whole program. That was my video game - creating large, complete houses, trying to puzzle out building codes and electrical plans based on the built-in "tips," applying materials, and the most basic rendering experimentation. Ever since then, it stuck. Kudos to my dad for whatever he saw in young me. So … I've known since I was 10.
I am originally from The Woodlands, Texas, where I had the opportunity to be involved in architecture as a freshman in high school. I learned both hand and computer drafting, and traveled to use these skills in competitions. I was also very involved in art and dance throughout my early years, which I still enjoy very much.
It has always been a priority of mine to leave a noticeable and useful impact on the world through what I do. I believe that the best way for me to do this is to utilize my creativity and affinity for problem solving through the field of architecture.

"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!"
Luke 12:27-28
