ABOUT ME I graduated from MIT in May 2015 with a Masters in City Planning and a Certificate in Urban Design. With a professional background in public policy, sustainability, and international development and graduate training in physical planning, urban design, and real estate, I am always thrilled to hear about new opportunities to build holistic, equitable solutions for today’s most pressing built environment challenges. All work in this portfolio is my own unless otherwise noted.
