About 

Through various professional and academic opportunities both in Rome and New York I have gained valuable experience designing architecture, interiors and urban masterplans at a variety of scales. I have effectively contributed to several intensely design oriented studios, engaged in dynamic collaborative work environments. I am excited for future opportunities to continue to build on these experiences.

Robert A.M. Stern Architects, New York, NY, US, Architectural Designer

Being an architect at RAMSA exposed me to a wide variety of scales,

as I worked with lean teams on smaller residential projects,
and large groups on complex institutional and masterplan endeavors.
During my tenure I also participated in RAMSA’s QA&QC internship
project, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge of technical and
regulatory project parameters by working closely with the heads of
QA&QC to review the work of and advise project teams across studios
in the firm.
