A Cooper Union graduate (2014 Alum) who recently completed her Architecture Registration requirements in New York State. Her professional practice remains central to her native New York roots, making her familiar with New York City zoning and building code, and applying it towards space ranging from residential use to institutional. Working in such a dense space, it challenges her to constantly think about space as not just the inhabitant in program, but the experience they developed as they travel through. Leisure time is spent volunteering, teaching swimming, and continuing to extend the education of an architect by expanding in other fields, i.e. history, theory, graphics, sketches, paintings, and industrial design.
