About me

I’m a third-year architecture student at the University of Virginia, working at the intersection of design, leadership, and public service. Architecture shapes how I think, not as something to produce, but as a way to understand systems, human behavior, and the long-term consequences of everyday decisions.

Right now, my focus lives largely outside the studio. Much of my time is spent in student leadership, advocacy, and community work, where architectural thinking becomes a practical tool for navigating real constraints, institutional complexity, and competing values. I’m especially interested in housing, sustainability, and the conditions that allow communities to function with care over time. What motivates me is the challenge of turning values into action, and using design not for spectacle, but as a means of judgment, responsibility, and long-term stewardship.
