Really, about me . . .

I made some bad decisions earlier in my life but I went from being a high school drop out to valedictorian of my college with multiple architecture degrees and the highest of honors.

I have lived in Long Beach for almost 30 years and have been designing homes for 25 of those years (if you count playing the sims when I was little). A graduate of Cal State Long Beach and long time resident, I draw much of my inspiration from the historical architecture, from the art deco high rises to the craftsman and Tudor homes in the suburbs.

I am dedicated to helping others have the same opportunities and support I was so fortunate to have, and I show this by volunteering with and donating to Defy Ventures, a nonprofit dedicated to helping formerly incarcerated individuals by equipping them to have economic independence and gain social reconnection.
