I am someone who works hard to be focused and poised. I aim to be a reliable friend to others. I look up to people who are thoughtful and kind and strive to be someone who shows those I care about how I care.

Reliability and trust are qualities I look for in those I surround myself with and do my best having such qualities. I enjoy making friends and always make sure to be kind to others, as that is how I would like to be treated.

NEXUS8 Traumatology Clinic by Estudio de Arquitectur MAGICARCH
The NEXUS8 Traumatology Clinic by Estudio de Arquitectur MAGICARCH in Murcia, Spain, is a Clinic that envisions a new way of understanding a healthy space. This project takes centralized furniture and enables metabolic architectures that rely on rehabilitation techniques that rely on the hormonal response of the human being. These spaces utilize light through brightness, saturation, and direction to help aid in the healing process. This clinic’s design relies heavily in the chromatic aspects of its design. In the West Zone, seen in the diagrams, the Clinic has centralized furniture and cellular polycarbonate walls that divide the inner end atomized space, and helps with the heat and ventilation of these rooms. In these rooms, patients will be naked, which makes heat an important aspect in these areas.

Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Alcalá Church
Built in 2020 by Alejandro Beautell, the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Alcalá Church is a sacred place for not only those that live in Alcala, but also those who shares those cultures of the island. This This project holds a lot of meaning to its structure, as the architects crafted the concept into its construction. The materiality and structure is meant to tell the story of the island’s forgotten history, while telling a story that connects the old with the new. Upon the entrance, the two naves merge both the old ceiling structures and new walls that mimic the older construction. Because this is a sacred place, hierarchy is used through varying ceiling heights, as well as skylights/natural light. Doing this connects the church to a higher meaning at the human scale because it draws the person’s eyes upwards to the higher power.
