Fulbright Postgraduate Scholar @Us-Uk Fulbright Commission

Edinburgh, GB

As a US-UK Fulbright Scholar, I’m currently pursuing an MA in Design for Change at the University of Edinburgh—an opportunity that allows me to merge my passion for wellness, sustainability, and social impact through design. My research centers on the transformative potential of the built environment: how thoughtful, inclusive spaces can support health, dignity, and equity in the face of global challenges.This work is a continuation of a career-long commitment to using design as a force for good—creating not just beautiful environments, but spaces that heal, empower, and uplift.
