I was born and raised in Long Beach (20 mins from LA) California, USA

Ended up traveling across the country to attend Drexel University in Philadelphia for Architectural/Civil Engineering.

While in Philadelphia, I got incredibly interested in how a city can be shaped by its past and its culture.

I started working full time while attending classes and realized at graduation that I didnt just want to just work for the rest of my life. I wanted to enjoy other cultures and expand on my perception of the world. So I applied for universities abroad.

I am currently enrolled at University of Minho, for a Master's in Structural Analysis of Historic Structure and Contructions. Im trying to blend my passion for cultures and history with my background in engineering.
