About 

As a recent BArch graduate from the University at Buffalo, I am passionate about exploring the field of architecture from a critical, social, and inclusive lens. I have a minor in sociology, which helps me understand the impact of design on people and communities.

I have gained valuable hands-on experience as an Architect in Training at Brad Wales Architect, where I work on residential and small business projects, and as an Architectural Intern at MACh Arquitetos, where I collaborate with a team of professionals on urban and cultural interventions. I have developed core competencies in architectural plans, drawings, and design, using various software and tools. I have also received the Design Excellence Award for my innovative and sustainable thesis project.

Born in New York City and raised in Brasil and New York, I am a dual citizen with fluency in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I enjoy learning from different cultures and perspectives, and I am eager to pursue new challenges and opportunities in the architectural field. My goal is to create meaningful and functional spaces that enhance the quality of life and the environment.
