Born into a family of critical thinkers I was basically setup to explore everything that was of interest to me; growing up surrounded by Architects, Engineers, and Educators the idea of ‘how' and ‘why' were ever present. My family moved to Texas from New Orleans at a young age, and I was fortunate to grow up in architecture and engineering offices – but as a result I did everything I could to distance myself from architecture. I enrolled at Texas Tech with the goal of being a trial attorney, pursuing a degree in Social Psychology to better understand the brain of people on the stand. The semester before I was to graduate it hit me like a ton of bricks, my heart was not with playing mind games with people in a courtroom but rather using my hands to express design ideas. Seemed prudent to complete the psychology degree and then immediately applied to enroll in architecture, then continuing into graduate school.
