Gaining an interdisciplinary education background has nurtured me with the ability to develop a holistic and integrated approach that embraces the complexity of our built environment. A significant highlight was receiving the 2020 American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Student Award for my thesis work at the University of Southern California on drylands design. Additionally, the City of Los Angeles recognised me as a stellar example of a great community leader for my Hollywood Central Park proposal — a design scheme to create a 44-acre street-level park on top of the 101 Freeway for communities, visitors and wildlife. Regarding my professional credentials, I am a LEED-accredited professional in building design and construction. I also acquired a WELL AP credential, which signifies my commitment to human health and wellness in the built environment.
