Her experience spans Golf Club Pro Shops, Educational Institutions, Residences, Offices, Banks, Housing Co-operatives, Long-term Care Centres, and the Covid Masterplan for the Reopening of Schools.

Her academic research explored multi-modal transit routes as catalysts for urban development and examined school design from the perspective of children, alongside electives that strengthened her theoretical grounding in spatial, behavioral and environmental studies.

She is a driven and detail-oriented individual who values analytical thinking, clear communication, optimism, and a solution-oriented mindset in all aspects of her work.
