I have been passionate about architecture from an early age and I began to study design over seven years ago in the Dominican Republic. For the past two years I have been working on various architectural disciplines, including construction documents, design, and 3D visualization.

I have always seen architecture as a means to improve lives and provide happiness. I also believe that we, as architects, have the important role of protecting our environment at the same time. It is exciting to be in a career where I can not only improve individuals’ quality of life, but also combine my passion for architecture with sustainable design to improve the quality of the natural world. The seamless marriage of architecture and the environment has been an important goal in my creative designs, minimizing the carbon footprint on the sites I work on. Throughout the course of my career, I will continue to advocate for solutions to create sustainable architecture that will enhance our landscapes, rather than negatively impact them. 

After graduating from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelors of Architecture, I joined the Inglese Architecture team in East Rutherford, NJ. While working as a part of this team, I’ve had the opportunity to work on urban designs located in areas lacking green spaces and often suffering from contamination due to previous buildings on site. While gaining the skills to remediate sites such as these, I simultaneously developed my passion for environmentally responsible architecture. These insights have had an instrumental role in shaping my mindset as an architect, and I am grateful to have worked with such a talented group of people and impressive array of projects at Inglese.

I have already completed my required IDP hours, and I’ve registered for the Architect Registration examination. I plan to become LEED certified in 2017.
