ABOUT ME
Hello! I am a fourth year student at USC School of Architecture. I love all things design and I am in search to learn more about the field of design. I am active in several clubs and organizations hoping to make a larger difference in my school and community. I have gained much experience and many connections along the way but I am always looking to expand it further.

HNTB ARCHITECTURE INTERNSHIP
HNTB CORPORTATION: ARCHITECTURE
I interned at HNTB’s Architecture practice in Downtown Los Angeles, where I produced construction details and renderings for a professional sports performance center. In addition, I contributed to transportation infrastructure projects and conducted contextual research for airport planning initiatives.







OLYMPIC CONVENTION CENTER
Year 2, Semester 2 - Los Angeles, CA
Designed as a flexible venue for the 2026 LA Olympics, the Olympic Convention Center transitions into a public library post-Games. Its dynamic form, composed of triangulated geometries in an asymmetrical ring, facilitates upward-spiraling circulation. The project incorporates multi-use programming, a double-skin façade, and rooftop terraces to promote long-term community engagement.










ADAPTIVE RE-USE REC CENTER
Year 3, Semester 2 - Pasadena, CA
This project reimagines a foreclosed big-box retail building in Pasadena as a vibrant community recreation center. By retaining over 50% of the existing structure, the design emphasizes adaptive reuse and reduces embodied carbon. Sustainable strategies focus on minimizing operational energy through passive ventilation and daylighting.

CO-OP NUTRITIONAL HOUSING
YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1

Nutritional Co-Op Housing investigates how architecture can support healthy living by integrating access to nutritious food with spatial wellness for 100 residents. The mass timber structure features exterior-facing units with private balconies, equipped with adjustable fins to optimize sunlight, privacy, and acoustic performance.












STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE
YEAR 4, SEMESTER 1
I studied abroad across Asia, engaging in site-based research and academic collaborations in Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, and Hong Kong. I worked with faculty and students from Tokyo University, the University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh City, and Hong Kong University. These cross-cultural experiences broadened my design perspective and deepened my understanding of urbanism and regional architectural practices.
