I grew up in the Texas Hill Country where I was often drawing, painting, or helping in my parent’s garden. At the age of nine, my dad began building his first green home. Observing and participating in the construction process became a defining moment in my life. My passion to bring beauty to the world coupled with my dad’s house-building adventure led me to the field of architecture. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Texas at San Antonio and later my Master of Science in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano. My binational training in the U.S. and Italy, has not only given me a unique perspective of the built environment, but has highlighted the broader impacts the built environment has on each of us and our planet. My core design interests are rooted in a holistic approach to architecture and urban design where environmental, economic, and social sustainability lead. To expand my understanding of these principles, I earned my LEED Green Associate credential and anticipate to receive my LEED AP BD+C in the near future.

Over my 13 year career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of architectural sectors including transportation, k-12 education, and product design. Currently, I’m a Lead Architectural Consultant for WSP and have provided design and management services for large clients such as the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the United States Postal Service (USPS). As the Washington D.C. studio lead, my role has been to supervise the production of construction drawings and specifications, attend client meetings to define project scope, review construction RFIs and submittals, facilitate multi-discipline coordination and accuracy, review design budgets, prepare change orders, conduct on-site field surveys, and egress/code review. I’ve also had the privilege of managing and mentoring architectural staff, fostering their professional growth, promoting collaboration, and altogether strengthening team synergy.

I’m currently on the path to licensure and anticipate being licensed by mid 2026. I’m also bilingual - English and Italian — and an Associate AIA member. In my free time I enjoy painting, photography, stargazing, and yoga.
