About 

I am a graduate of Wentworth Institute of Technology with a Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) degree.  My thesis research positioned the sharing economy (Airbnb, WeWork, etc.) into architecture.  Exploring and researching modern information/data to transform how we develop new architecture for the future is of interest to me.  I have an expansive background from projects throughout my education and professional experience within residential design, master-planning, and entertainment design. Real estate development and interior design are further interests of mine.
