About 

In 2019, I graduated with my Master's in Architecture from The Bernard and Anne
Spitzer School of Architecture at City College. My experience there has given me a solid educational foundation and has ignited my passion for Architecture and Design. In addition to my comprehensive background in Architectural Design, I currently work full-time at John H Hatheway Jr. Architects. I started here as an Assistant Project Manager & Draftsman in April 2019 and grew into a Project Manager Role. Currently, I manage multiple residential projects in New York City and Upstate New York, which includes drawings & coordination amongst Consultants & the Client. This also includes Product & Material Selection. On our Larger Scale Projects, I've completed full DOB, Landmarks & Construction Sets in addition to contributing to Schematic Design & Design Development drawings. I've also spearheaded 3D Models for our Current Projects as well as coordination between Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical.

I'm currently an Adjunct Lecturer for my Alma Mater, CCNY, for a course titled Site
Technology. I started my role here as a Teaching Assistant during my graduate studies, and was asked to come back as an Adjunct. In this B-Arch course, we explore different strategies and methods to incorporate the existing site and natural occurrences into a proposed design. Through problem solving and Lectures, I teach my students that it is important to understand what is already existing around us and find ways to incorporate that into a cohesive design.
