About

Originally from Miami Beach, I began silversmithing at eight and took architecture and engineering classes in high school. In 2026, I earned my B.S. in architectural engineering in three years with a 4.0 GPA and WPI’s Salisbury Prize, and am now pursuing my Master of Architecture at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts, with graduation expected in August 2027.

In architecture, I’m interested in the relationship between environmental performance and spatial experience. As part of my thesis, I’m developing an interactive design tool for coordinating light, sound, privacy, and thermal conditions.

My experience includes energy and sustainability work at SOCOTEC in New York City, design and fabrication with Frank + Hank in Colorado, and metalsmithing instruction at Camp Laurel in Maine.
