About 

I was raised in a lower-middle class family in Kingston, Jamaica. My perspectives are largely connected to this experience. I have struggled with personal and structural issues around rich and poor, access and exclusion, public and private and so my ideas about architecture are largely viewed through a social lens.

I am interested in an opportunity to be engaged with the processes that determine our built environment and all that entails collectively and subjectively. I hope to work on projects that challenge attitudes about how we inhabit space.
