Michelle, a proud Central California native, made the move to Las Vegas in 2017 to pursue her college education. Fast forward to 2022, and she’s now a proud graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture.

A dynamic leader in the Las Vegas design community, Michelle is actively involved with the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Passionate about championing Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (J.E.D.I.), she’s lent her voice to AIA Las Vegas promotional videos and panels tackling these important topics. Michelle has also spoken on women in architecture academia and serves on the J.E.D.I. committee while holding the role of secretary for the NV Fellows.

Michelle’s impact extends beyond Las Vegas—on a national level, she’s part of the AIAS Freedom by Design Advisory Committee, where she helps guide service and outreach programs for university chapters across the country.

When she’s not advocating for change or creating inspiring designs, you can find Michelle spending time with her family, exploring new local coffee spots, or relaxing at home with her cello. A firm believer that everyone deserves resilient and sustainable design, Michelle is committed to creating spaces that promote health for both people and the planet.
