With her background as a rising 3rd-year Architecture student at UC Berkeley and her double minor in City and Regional Planning and Sustainable Design, Patricia aims to use architecture and design to address contemporary issues relating to climate change and urbanism. Prior to participating her research internship on zero-net-energy building at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, she interned in Indonesia to work on low-cost housing developments for low-income households that are impacted by Jakarta's rapid urbanization. Patricia spends her spare time playing badminton, sketching cityscapes, and exploring new architecture software.
