🎓 Academic Foundations & Mentorship
I firmly believe that the best leaders never stop learning—and never stop teaching. My professional practice is deeply intertwined with a rigorous academic foundation built entirely at the University of Southern California (USC):
Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) | Minor in Business Administration & Marketing
Master of Architecture (M.Arch) | Focused on Sustainable Design within Islamic Architecture
Ph.D. in Architecture (ABD) | Specializing in Urban Design, Cognitive Mapping, and Urban Planning
During my doctoral studies, I had the honor of researching under legendary architectural pioneers, including Case Study House architect Pierre Koenig and solar envelope authority Ralph Knowles.
Today, I actively bridge the gap between the corporate boardroom and the classroom. I regularly hire and mentor young interns at my firm, and I serve as an Adjunct Faculty Member at Houston Community College (HCC) The Corporate College, teaching Project Management to the next generation of industry builders. My previous teaching tenures include faculty roles at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and ITT Technical Institute.
