I grew up in Roswell, New Mexico, and like a lot of kids, I dreamed of being an airplane pilot. But as I got older, my love of drawing took over, and architecture started to feel like the perfect mix of creativity and technical problem-solving.
I went to the University of Louisiana, where I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies and my Master of Architecture. The best part of this career for me is seeing a building come to life—there’s nothing like watching the vision take shape and knowing it’ll make a difference for the people who use it, especially in education.
These days, most of my free time is spent on my daughters’ sports—practices, games, and traveling keep me busy. I’ve also started working on my daughter’s Jeep, teaching myself as I go.
