Jaime P. Pangelinan is a local of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), having been born and raised on the island of Saipan. Since joining TRMA in 2015, she has accumulated a diverse range of experience in planning, design, construction documentation, and construction administration. Jaime earned her Bachelor of Architecture from Portland State University in 2010, followed by a master's degree in architecture from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco in 2013.

Throughout her career, Jaime has worked on a variety of projects, including commercial, educational, and residential facilities, as well as local and government projects in the CNMI, Guam, and Hawaii.

Jaime has been passionate about pursuing a career in architecture since a young age, inspired by her family's longstanding lineage of engineers. She is driven by the opportunity to transform a client’s visions into spatial experiences and by the positive impact a design can have on the community.
