Ever since a young age, I have had a passion for the visual arts. I always knew that one day I would find myself in a career that would allow me to do what I love most. In high school, I took an interior design course that allowed me to explore the arts in a way like never before.

While pursuing my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Interior Design at The University of North Texas, I have refined my skills, learned many new things, and become a part of a community that has helped me grow as not only a designer but a person as a whole. I am so proud to be an eagle and a soon-to-be professional interior designer!

I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I would describe myself to be a fantastic team player as well as a motivated, and well-organized individual. My goals post-education include: becoming associated with a design firm that will aid in growing my knowledge of the ever-changing design field, put my skills to the test with new challenges, and eventually create my own company to invest in flipping real estate.

Favorite memory in the Interior Design program.

My favorite memory in the Interior Design program takes me back to a night during our sophomore year, where IDSA held a Sophomore Social to meet others in the major. This was the night that I met my true friends! I am so thankful for these women who pushed me to be my best, motivated me when I was down, and helped me in so many ways during the medical struggles that I faced senior year. I will forever cherish the memories we made in this program.
