About 

Queens-native architecture student that loves research and being hands on with the things they design. Experienced in materials research, computer aided and co-robotic fabrication, producing architectural drawings and details, concept development, interdisciplinary communication, parametric design, residential building envelopes, design teaching, and design competitions.

In search of ways to positively impact communities through creativity and ingenuity. My design education and life experience have shown me the importance of working in the service of others, be it through the arts or through hospitality.
