I received my BArch degree from Alfred State College in May of 2019. In addition, I grew up within the Rochester community and have always gravitated towards architecture since I can remember. I am an Architectural Designer at CPL. My two passions include playing soccer and architecture. Rochester has always been my home, and the City has become and continues to be a place where community is at its forefront. Architecture has the ability to open a variety of avenues, and community is one of the avenues that speaks to me the most. I express a passion for adaptive and innovative design to better the built environment and the users within it, ultimately creating architecture that facilitates positive social impact design.
