About 

Recent M.Arch graduate and designer keen to reimagine architectural space through a social lens, searching for a full-time position. Looking to relocate and open to travel

My undergraduate studies had a concentration in Adaptive Interventions, where a close study of existing physical and social conditions, socioeconomic influences, and movement were main areas of research and inspiration. While my graduate thesis research focused on socioeconomic disparity, gentrification, and gender, sexual, racial inequalities within Boston. Exploring how we can change what we currently regard as normal social and physical surroundings to promote social interactions, conversations, and involvement between social boundaries and hierarchies.
