I am a native of Virginia and grew up in Chesterfield, a suburb between Richmond and Petersburg. My mom always supported my dreams and, after I met an architect at a Girl Scout career fair, my mom helped me achieve that goal. I attended Howard University and worked in architecture firms in Virginia. When an opportunity became available to do work that was more community centered, I took it and moved to the left coast.

Currently, I am a Project Manager at the San Francisco Housing Development Corporation. My primary role is as client representative for an affordable condo project and predevelopment of new projects.

Outside of my work, I serve as a Girl Scout troop leader, on the board of the Visitacion Valley Community Center, and as editor of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) magazine.

Buildings are important but building community is even more important.
