"I FELL INTO ARCHITECTURE AFTER I GRADUATED WITH MY FINE ARTS DEGREE FROM UNLV. I WANTED TO CHANGE THE WORLD BUT I FELT I WASN’T EQUIPPED WITH SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OR SKILLS TO MAKE A BIG ENOUGH IMPACT. I BECAME PASSIONATE ABOUT ARCHITECTURE WHEN I REALIZED THE IMPACT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT HAS ON REAL WORLD PROBLEMS. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD PROBLEM SOLVER. SOLVING PROBLEMS THROUGH DESIGN ALLOWS AN ARCHITECT TO MAKE A SERIOUS IMPACT ON THE WORLD WHILE FURTHER DEVELOPING THEIR CREATIVITY. MY GOAL IS TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL AND DESIGN BUILDINGS AND SYSTEMS THAT HELP PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM NATURAL DISASTERS. THE CHANGING WORLD CONTINUES TO THROW PEOPLE’S LIVES INTO TURMOIL OVERNIGHT AND IT IS UP TO THOSE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLSET TO LEND A HELPING HAND IN TIMES OF CRISIS."
