About 

I just achieved my Master of Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and am working full time at Mosaic Associates Architects in Troy, NY. My thesis dealt with the drought and housing crisis in the California San Francisco Bay Area. I am working with Lydia Kallipoliti on the book of her exhibit, Closed Worlds, for The Storefront for Art and Architecture, and on her exhibit at the Istanbul biennial. I recently spent a month in Italy with Garfagnana Innovazione at the 2015 Digital Stone Project, creating a marble sculpture with a 7 axis robotic CNC mill and finishing it by hand.

My time was split between the pre-professional architecture program with Syracuse University's campus in Florence and an Intermediate-Advanced level Italian class at the the University of Florence. The Syracuse program consisted of a Studio class and a field study class in which we visited over 10 Italian cities to tour, sketch, and discuss significant buildings and landmarks in each.
