Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
As a first-generation American from Frisco, Texas, I developed my passion for architecture through my grandparents. One studied architecture before leaving school, while the other designed and built the home where my father grew up. I started taking architecture courses in high school while participating in extracurricular programs, summer camps, and design opportunities that allowed me to connect with professionals, faculty, and other students with similar interests. Since then, I have continued developing my experience through studio work, internships, volunteering, research, and a semester studying abroad in Florence, Italy, where I gained a deeper appreciation for architecture, culture, and urban life. I am currently pursuing my undergraduate studies at Texas A&M University and plan to graduate in Fall 2026. Following graduation, I plan to pursue a Master of Architecture (M.Arch) while continuing to gain professional experience and work toward architectural licensure.
I participated in the ACE Mentorship program in both 2021 and 2022, engaging with industry professionals in architecture, construction, and engineering. Throughout the program, we collaborated on a project, which further enhanced my skills and deepened my understanding of the field.
I attended an in-person Camp ARCH and was one of 20 accepted into the Landscape Architecture/Urban Planning group. During this week, I developed my skills with Sketchup and learned how to transform empty lots into public spaces. We also met with professors, deans, and current students who shared with us the vast variety of types of projects and lessons encompassed in the 4-year Landscape Architecture and Urban and Regional planning programs at Texas A&M. At the end, our group presented our project to in the auditorium other faculty and families. (This project is shown in portfolio)
