Throughout my studies at the University of Miami School of Architecture, I have found myself drawn to the way people interact with the built environment and how daily life is directly influenced by the design of the places around us. My work reflects the many architectural styles I have grown fond of, from contemporary to classical. My curiosity for these varying styles has been nurtured by my passion for travel.

In the summer of 2021, I worked as an architecture intern in Valencia, Spain. During my time at 4mArquitectos, I became familiar with the Spanish/Mediterranean Revival style within residential and civic spaces. The following year I exercised this knowledge of classical architecture to design a multi residential building, which was later published in the academic journal, The Classicist No. 19.

In addition to studying architecture, I am also working on my Bachelors of Art degree. I've always had a strong passion for art and I believe this has assisted me in developing more forward thinking concepts as well as connecting with fundamental methods of design.

In the summer of 2022, I attended the American University of Paris to study art. There, I spent my days painting and sketching Parisian architecture, landmarks, and gardens. As I toured the city, I observed the city's overall sense of well being. There was beauty in everyday routines like riding the train, walking to class, and swinging by the corner market for groceries. The city made me feel at peace-- a quality hard to come by in large, busy metropolitans.

I grew to realize the Parisian way of life was a direct result of the city's design: plentiful public transportation, pedestrian streets, lack of major infrastructure, sidewalk shops and eateries on every corner, beautifully designed facades, bridges, parks, and plazas. A city truly built for the people. Succeeding this revelation, I made it my architectural mission to design for the well being of people.

It is evident that my experiences abroad have greatly impacted me in more ways than I can explain. My solo travels have encouraged me to grow in confidence, curiosity, and drive. As a future architect, these are the tools I will use to create the world better than I found it, one design at a time.
