What is your background?

I was born in Lafeyette, Louisiana and raised in Houston, Tx. In 2021 I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a bachelor’s in interior design.

Why did you get into this profession?

I have always had a passion for design. My sophomore year of high school I enrolled in an intro to design course where they taught us the basics of modeling and material boards. I thoroughly enjoyed the computer programs, Chief Architect at the time, to the point I would come in during lunch or my off periods to “play” on the computer. Eventually my teacher allowed me to take a school laptop home with me where I spent a lot of time creating different types of spaces. It was at the end of that year that I knew I wanted to build a career out of design.

What is your favorite project?

My favorite project would be the Galveston Behavioral Health Center. This project was challenging and encouraged me to dive deeper into the behavioral health industry. It was a fascinating project to work on and benefits the community.

What is a Fun Fact About You?

I am a huge book worm!

Who is one of your heroes?

Laura Dekker, the youngest person to sail solo around the world. Her determination and bravery are something to be admired and reminds me to not let fear stop me from taking chances.
