I consider myself a driven and enthusiastic architect with 5+ years’ experience designing and implementing solutions for high-profile companies.
I have a very unique background with a 5-year architecture degree from Universita’ di Ferrara and a post-professional Master’s degree from University of Pennsylvania, as well as experience working both in Milan and NYC, with the roles of architect and LEED AP.
After +3 years working in NYC for a full service architecture firm, I can bring my experience retail and food service architecture, along with my knowledge of CDs production, essential MEPs, consultant&client coordination, and Construction Administration.
At the same time I have been the office Energy Manager & LEED AP, facilitating the work of the team implementing the requirements of the NYC Energy Conservation Code and different LEED rating systems.
For the past year and a half I have been the Project Manager for the Capital One Bank account, with over 10 projects between NYC and New Jersey.
In parallel, I helped the development of the office digital team with the use of 3d scanning technology to provide advanced architectural services (point-clouds, virtual reality and 3d walk-through).
My goal is to continue to grow and improve myself. I am focused on improving my communication & management skills to take on leadership roles, eventually working my way into a position as a manager and team-leader.

Dante O. Benini & Partners Architects, Milano, IT, Intern
I followed the day by day activities of the firm, concerning both architecture, urban planning and interior design. I personally had the opportunity to deepen in to the understanding of executive design, as the responsability matters and scheduling issues, collaborating with a broad team of architects and engineer. Working for DOBP meant the first real step in to architecture world and a great opportunity for my professional career.

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, US, Masters, Master of Environmental Building Design (MEBD)
With the renewed urgency of environmental issues—from global climate change to resource shortages and “net zero” design—architects are faced with demands for new kinds of services that require a new kind of professional.
The Master in Environmental Building Design is a specialized, post-professional degree developed to train architects in the new skills and knowledge required for environmental design and especially in the design techniques with which those skills must be integrated into the practice of architecture. The one-year course of study includes coursework on building performance simulation, integrated building design, building envelopes and systems, lighting, daylighting, and the theory and practice of environmental design.
he Department of Architecture at Penn has gathered a remarkable team of experts to teach in the new program. The MEBD operates in close coordination with the Penn-Tsinghua T.C. Chan Center for Building Simulation and Energy Studies, drawing on the expertise of faculty engaged in research at the center and providing case studies and research projects for students in the MEBD.
