StatementBio

Design student at UBC SALA specializing in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urbanism. I'm passionate about creating spaces that inspire connection, equity, and belonging. My interests lie in how design can shape inclusive, community-centered environments that uplift marginalized voices and center justice in every stage of the process.

With experience in architectural design, visual storytelling, and mentoring, I've built a strong foundation in collaborative and socially conscious design. Beyond academics and work experience, my humanitarian work reflects my commitment to using creativity and leadership to support the causes I care about. I aspire to bridge design thinking with social impact, crafting environments that not only serve but also empower the people who inhabit them.
