At the age of 8, my family and I immigrated to the United States from El Salvador due to the economic situation and violence that my country was facing. My parents wanted to provide me and my sibling with a better life; a life in which our own lives were safe and opportunities were given to us. My parents always encouraged me to educate myself and accomplish all of my dreams. A major impact that occurred in my life were the circumstances coming to a new nation. This challenged my language barriers as I did not know any English and it became really hard for me to learn this new language. A few months after I arrived here, a lot of people would bring me down because I did not know any English and I could still remember because it affected me so much. But despite all of that, I did not let it get to me. I made sure always take advantage of opportunities. I am constantly learning from my surroundings and people around me. After 20 years being in this country I have to appreciate where life has put me and that I had the opportunity to go to college and purse a degree. I am a person that over-comes obstacles and I know that no matter how hard it may seem success is always attainable.
Junior year of High School I decide what I wanted to major and since it never change. Having my BFA Interior Architect came along with a lot of challenges that made me doubt about my skills but it proof me that I am capable of learning. I have the brain for an architect to provide the best of my skills to any project presents to me. I am capable to have a brain as a designer. Even though I graduated college recently I know my learning will continue in the industry. I believe that interior design is essentially about a few major things: attention to detail, a stroke of inspiration and a focus on where practicality and beauty converge.
