Two months ago, I took one of the most important steps in my personal and professional journey: I began my second migration \u2014 this time from Toronto<\/strong>, Canada<\/strong>, to Los Angeles, California<\/strong>. This move has brought more than just a change of location. It represents growth, reinvention, and the chance to contribute to exciting engineering and infrastructure projects in a new environment.<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m working at SENER<\/strong>, an international engineering and technology firm, where I\u2019m part of a multidisciplinary team delivering complex, meaningful projects. Being in Los Angeles<\/strong> allows me to explore new challenges in architecture, BIM modeling, and design coordination \u2014 all while adapting to the local codes, standards, and project dynamics in the U.S.<\/p>\n

As someone with a background in architecture, BIM, and neuroarchitecture<\/strong>, I believe every space should serve both functional and emotional needs. In this new chapter, I\u2019ve been applying not only my technical skills but also my understanding of how spaces can promote well-being and resilience \u2014 values that are becoming more and more important in engineering design.<\/p>\n

Migrating again hasn\u2019t been easy. It means rebuilding your support system, adjusting to new professional standards, and finding your place in a fast-paced city. But it\u2019s also an incredible opportunity to grow and reconnect with your purpose. I\u2019m learning every day \u2014 from the people around me, the projects I\u2019m part of, and the culture of innovation that defines California\u2019s engineering and design landscape.<\/p>\n

This migration to Los Angeles<\/strong> reminds me how powerful it is to stay open to change. And that, no matter where we are, our work can create real impact \u2014 in systems, in structures, and in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd27 If you’re also in a moment of change \u2014 professionally or personally \u2014 I\u2019d love to hear your story.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who\u2019s been part of this transition. Let\u2019s keep building, together.<\/p>\n
