I am an Project Architect in New York City, working on a variety of projects throughout the US and abroad. I specialize in science, health, and educational projects, and I also have experience in high-end residential, civic and cultural projects. I am passionate about adaptive reuse, historic preservation and architectural history.
In my spare time, I am restoring a Dutch colonial revival home built in 1915, and I am also a board member of Architexx which is a 501c3 non-profit organization for gender equity in architecture transforming the profession by bridging the academy and practice.
