About 

I recently completed my Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture at Rutgers University.  I am interested in pursuing a career within a firm that strives to shape a more ecological landscape.

My work has focused on sustainability and resilient stormwater management.  My graduate design project investigated stormwater and open space problems in Hoboken, New Jersey.  The design uses spaces created by past urbanization to create a framework for stormwater infrastructure and a pedestrian circulation system that incorporates the city’s historical wetland footprints.
