I grew up in Cypress, spending most of my time playing outdoors with friends and racing home to beat the streetlights.

Growing up, I wanted to be the next “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or even an astronaut, and in high school, I started working on cars with friends. However, it was a high school art history class that sparked my interest in architecture. That led me to pursue and earn a BS in Architecture from UTSA.

I pursued this career because I’m fascinated by cities and how architects shape spaces. The collaboration in design and seeing the impact on end users keeps me motivated. Outside of work, I enjoy running and hiking. I try to surround myself with things that make me laugh, inspire curiosity, and creativity.


What architecture or place is on your bucket list to visit?
I’d really like to experience the northern lights.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone starting their career?
Remember to always stay curious and pursue the things that bring you joy.
