I have had the pleasure of collaborating with many consultants, operators, brands, and developers worldwide. Having been involved on most projects with a multi-disciplinary team, I understand the importance of working with experts from various fields to bring about the best possible solution for any project.
I first received a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture with a minor in Latino Studies from the University of Connecticut. While attending the university, my focuses included urban design, commercial design and park & recreational design.
After graduating from UCONN, I continuously made efforts to situate myself in positions where I play an important and active role in the design process. Every project presents itself with new challenges allowing me to generate new solutions.
I am constantly learning, and am open to new ideas. I have been involved in a variety of local projects including designs for exclusive high-end golf and equestrian residential
communities, as well as commercial landscape design. I have also been involved in civic, park, recreational and streetscape design.
Besides having experience in developing and analyzing code, I have also worked on interpreting regulations, composing guidelines and preparing design workbooks / manuals for public dissemination. Additionally, I have been involved with both public and private sector projects, performed detailed graphic design work related to site and landscape design as
well as presentations.
I am a highly motivated and dedicated individual who understands and takes an active involvement in all phases of the design process from program definition, to conceptual sketches, master planning and construction documentation.
Furthermore, I have the ability to analyze land three-dimensionally using several programs to include AutoCAD, Sketchup and GIS.
