About 

I've worked with numerous architectural firms in my home country. My interest in observing and gaining hands-on experience in the field of urban design and planning in the United States, and specifically in resilient urban design brought me to New York City for my second Masters degree at NYIT, MAURD program.

I’m interested in studying methods of mapping, exploring different layers of the city (social, historical, economical, networks, transportation, climate change, health, etc.), and resilient and sustainable design strategies. I’d also like to gain more experience in the community scale projects in New York City. 

I have worked extensively with ArcGIS, Sketchup pro, Vasari, AutoCAD, as well as the Adobe package software (illustrator, indesign, photoshop, flash, premier), and Microsoft office.
