I am Brooklyn-based urban planner and systems thinker passionate about growing equitable urban ecosystems. I have a professional foundation in experiential education, hospitality, and community and economic development, which has shaped my worldview and approach to practice, believing in the process of developing innovative solutions from the ground up.
I hold a Master of City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with a minor in Spanish from the University of Vermont.
In my free time, you can find me burying my head in books on histories of the world, reading fantasy, improving my Portuguese, dancing forró, sketching food I eat and scenes I see, planning my next trip, and trying to remember to catch that museum show before it closes.
