My background lies in hi-rise residential architecture and design. I have been working for 10 years in NY, having enjoyment and interest in working in a firm with a broad range of projects. I found that strength in all facets of the practice came from being within an office allowing advancement from my positions from Junior Architect to Senior Project Manager.
My greatest interest is in design of all scales, from master planning to millwork and product design. I take a systematic and creative approach to design with the goal of integrating functional needs of a site and surrounding environment in an artful manner. My strengths lie in my ability to communicate, organizational and problem-solving skills, and passion for learning new things.
In my spare time, I enjoy oil painting, home decoration and traveling.

During the construction phase of The Addison project, I was asked to participate in an article for Building and Construction Northeast. I spoke one on one with the writer going through the different phases of the project, along with the role I played in various aspects of design and construction.
