New Haven, CT | New York, NY
I am passionate about our built environment and our creative process. I believe in knowledge sharing and collaboration. I am drawn to complex systems like urban ecologies, transportation, post-industrial sites, sustainable building construction, among many other things. I’m currently pursuing my professional masters of architecture degree at Yale School of Architecture, during which I spent a summer drawing in Italy and a year living and working in Copenhagen. In my free time, I enjoy a run, a swim, or a bike ride.
