Registered Architect in the state of New York with professional experience across all phases of design and construction on residential, commercial, mixed-use, cultural, educational, and historic retrofit projects for a variety of private, public, and institutional clients. I also bring several years of additional academic experience through teaching design and planning studios, editing print publications, fabricating public installations, curating exhibitions, and engaging in personal and collaborative design research. My personal research agenda focuses on investigating the spatio-temporal relationships and tensions between historical patterns of urbanization, public policies, mobility infrastructures, and American cultural-geographic identities within the context of global-scale urbanization.
