Passionate About:

Simply put, I'm passionate about people and food. I believe that everybody has the right to eat and be nourished. You guessed it, I'm not an architecture student at UCLA (my good friend is). I'm a dietitian who wants to help this community in Panama continue to farm their land, feed themselves and sustainably maintain their livelihood. I'm honored to be a member of this brigade and have the opportunity to make a difference!

About Us

Architecture Brigades at UCLA is a discipline of Global Brigades, the world\\\'s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The UCLA chapter systematically works with more than 300 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran and Panamanian community members annually.

Architecture Brigades, a program within Global Brigades, designs and constructs socially responsible and sustainable architecture solutions in developing nations. Architecture Brigades has developed a think tank design approach that involves extensive community dialogue and independent research. This collaborative effort results in the creation of efficient, appropriate, and elegant structures to be embraced and utilized by those for whom they were built.
