About Dana Austin B.

I am a Master of Architecture student at the University of Washington, having completed an undergraduate Dual Degree in Architectural Design and Real Estate with a minor in Urban Design and Planning. It is my goal to seek licensure as an architect while learning all that I can about architecture.I am passionate about the built environment, and particularly, how the built environment can positively affect the lives of people. As a future architect, I believe in the value of comprehensive knowledge of the built environment and its processes, which is why I have studied Architecture, Real Estate, and Urban Design & Planning. As an active member of the campus community, I am a leader in UW Student Organizations such as the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (President), American Institute of Architecture Students (Graduate Representative), and Filipino American Student Association (Lead High School Mentor). These positions allow me to champion diversity and equity among the student body.
