I grew up in Brownsville. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a lawyer (thanks to Legally Blonde), but my interests shifted as I got older. Watching my grandfather, a skilled handyman, work on his house sparked my curiosity about building and design. By high school, some design classes solidified my passion for architecture, and I knew I wanted to pursue it as a career.
I earned both my Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degrees from UTSA, with a minor in Public Administration. What I love most about my job is the collaboration—working with design teams and consultants to solve challenges and create the best outcomes.
I enjoy exploring coffee shops, reading, and running—a hobby I never expected to love but now find incredibly rewarding. My running medals remind me of the challenges I’ve overcome and the goals I’ve achieved.

How do you hope your work will impact the people who experience it?
I hope that the designs and projects I work on become inspiring spaces for the users. I want the children to go to their schools and feel inspired and leave a mark on them that will impact their futures positively.
