ABOUT ME
Architecture & Design
Building, designing, and drawing were key parts of my childhood. Like many in the field, LEGO was my introduction. A hands-on experience creating something tangible from my imagination. That is where it all started.
This passion went on into my Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA (Class of 2021), and the University of Houston (Class of 2024).
Through this education, I have developed an appreciation for the experience of architecture. How people react to the spaces they’re inhabiting, how we move throughout, and the harmony that exists between the built environment and nature.
A 6th-grade assignment to write a note to my 12th-grade self stated that I would go to Temple for Architecture. I had no concrete visions into what I wanted to do with my life at age 11, but the prophecy was written.
Music & The Marching Arts
I come from a family of musicians. I found my calling in percussion as one of the instrument groups my family had not represented yet. From there, I went on to perform in my high school’s drumline in marching band and indoor percussion from 7th to 12th grade.
Upon graduating, I kept practicing with the ultimate goal of becoming a world-class drumline. Through the endless hours, I auditioned and got contracts to perform in the Reading Buccaneers Drum & Bugle Corps, United Percussion, and The Cadets, some of the most prestigious marching arts organizations in the northeast.
With an age-cap of 22 for both Drum Corps and Indoor Percussion, I went on to become an educator with my experience gained, spending 3 years with the Spartans Drum & Bugle Corps based in Nashua, NH. There, we earned 3 gold medals in Open Class and the group got promoted to World-Class for the 2026 season.
To this day, I still drum actively, and even arrange drumline music!
Present Day
After moving 4 times between 2022-2024, I currently reside in Somerville, MA.
Outside of my professional life, I love going on hikes throughout New England, watching baseball games, and continue to drum!
I will always be on a mission to keep music and design intertwined in what I do, and what I spend my time doing.
