Available to Mentor
I welcome opportunities to support women architects and architecture students by sharing knowledge, experience, and perspectives gained through practice, research, and international collaboration. I enjoy discussing design ideas, sustainable urban design, and architectural challenges while encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and confidence throughout the design process. I believe that exchanging ideas and experiences contributes to professional growth and strengthens a more inclusive and supportive architectural community. Through open dialogue and mutual learning, I hope to encourage women architects to develop their own voices and contribute to more sustainable, resilient, and people-centered built environments.
