TAMU Aggie Alumni and first-generation college student. I am a Texas A&M University student with a major in Bachelor of Science in Architecture with a "Global Arts, Planning, Design & Construction Concentration". I also have 2 minors in Urban Planning & Art. I am admitted to the Masters of Urban Planning at Texas A&M University and plan to pursue two graduate certificates in my concentration: Environmental Hazard Management and Sustainable Urbanism. I also plan to earn my LEED Green Associate certification expected by 2023 or later.
My passion was influenced by my family background, where both parents grew up in low-income neighborhoods (my dad from Shreveport, Louisiana and my mom from Baguio, Philippines). As a first-generation college student, I express my passion in my major towards my contribution and participation to create spaces that help: improve daily lifestyles, promote more sustainability, accommodate the residents’ essential needs, and providing better opportunities for the communities. I want to pursue sustainability in architecture and urban design, and to improve living habitats of cities and many underprivileged communities. I am interested to expand on my areas of interest towards my work of field.
Outside of my studies, I love to: listen to different genres and languages of music, watch animated shows and movies, play video games, play tennis, watch tv dramas from different countries, read webcomics, learn more about astronomy, baking, cooking, drawing, and painting.
