Marcela joined KARDENT in June 2022, after working in architecture for the past 20 years. Her career focus prior to KARDENT has been in developing drawings for residential housing communities. She joined KARDENT to work on more diverse projects in the commercial sector where her Residential experience has come in handy for temporary supportive housing projects and apartment seismic retrofits. KARDENT has provided a wide-variety of projects that are both challenging and exciting. Marcela loves the vibe at KARDENT. There is always something uplifting that happens every day, from the president riding a scooter through the office to the Lunch-n-Learn presentations. The team loves to laugh and interact all day. It lends to the culture and team creativity. In her spare time, Marcela enjoys hiking, walking, reading, photography, making jigsaw puzzles, and watching a good drama show or movie. She also enjoys taking care of her thriving plants: Pepina, Benita, and Moctezuma.
