I am a B.Arch student at Cal Poly Pomona, seeking a summer internship opportunity. I have experience in Revit, Rhino, and Adobe Creative Sweet. I am also currently teaching myself Cove.tool for energy analysis and embodied carbon estimations. My favorite firms are Leddy Maytum Stacy and BIG.

My passion lies in sustainable design with a focus on building performance evaluations. I am particularly interested in the passive design strategies along with embodied and operational carbon. 

My passion for sustainable design can be seen throughout all my projects but shows through especially in my most recent one (see Urban Community project). The north/south orientation allows for passive design strategies such as night flushing and internal heat gain. The walkways and overhangs are positioned so that the winter sunlight hits the exposed stone pavers. These pavers are locally sourced and add a nice texture to the interior dining area. The internal heat gain and night flushing cover both the winter and summer months to make the units less dependent on mechanical systems. The cladding on the walls facing the courtyard is made with re-used studs from the torn-down previous building. This helps incorporate adaptive reuse and lowers the embodied carbon while making a more personalized space.
