About 

I have always been enamored by the temporal properties of architecture that forms narrative and connection. This love has led me on a path of multidisciplinary educational training, having received a double degree in Ecological Design (BS) and Studio Art (BA). After my work experience in the art industry post graduation, I decided to dive into the study of the built environment while receiving my Master of Architecture at Columbia. During my time at GSAPP, my research will study the nuanced relationship between space and human emotion with focus on materiality and sensory perception. I formally believe that spatial character does not begin and end with the architect’s draft but rather exists on a continuum.
