About

This journey has allowed me to gain valuable experience across diverse roles, demonstrating my versatility and skill set. I take pride in my professional accomplishments, such as publications and awards, which underscore my commitment to excellence and innovation in architecture. With my expertise in various design software and fluency in English and Spanish, I look forward to continuing to make meaningful contributions to the architecture and design field
