I was born and raised in beautiful San Diego and have lived all over Southern California before returning to my hometown to join the Urban Arena team. I received my bachelor’s degree in visual arts from UC San Diego and worked as a graphic designer for a small marketing firm before I decided to pursue a master’s degree in landscape architecture at Cal Poly Pomona. Parks and playgrounds have always been my passion, but especially since becoming a mom of two. When I’m not working, I am likely running around outside with my kids, spending time with friends and family, and dreaming of our next mountain escape.
