Architect | DIALOG

I was born in Montreal and raised in Ottawa where I did all my schooling. I graduated from Carleton University School of Architecture in 2003. I moved to Vancouver where I started my career in Architecture.

 I am a registered Architect with the Architectural Institute of British Columbia and I have 17 years of experience working in various streams of architecture. I have been involved numerous of types or projects that include commercial, residential, institutional, and healthcare. I have gained extensive knowledge working at the design offices of Musson Cattell Mackay Partnership, Cannon Design, Stantec Architecture Ltd., GBL Architects and DIALOG where I have been involved in various high-profile projects such as the Vancouver Convention Centre, Science World Rejuvenation, and Trump Tower. I have seen projects through design development, building permit and construction to occupancy. These experiences include aspects of the practice from proposal site sketches, schematic site planning, BIM project management, project coordination, engineering coordination, design development to construction contract administration, coordination of permit drawing production, building code research and presentation panel design. I am always looking to carry on my experiences and build new ones.

 My experience in the field of Architecture also includes having worked as a part-time Revit instructor at the Brighton College, where I developed the course curriculum, handouts, assignments and exams for the 2-week and 4-week courses.  I have also volunteered as a mentor to high school students who are interested in architecture for future careers.
