My lifelong professional drive is to use design and technology to responsibly advance all sustainable design applications, from single-building design and urban planning, natural resource management and landscape architecture, to the manufacturing of commodities and generation of energy. After studying Architecture at MIT, I worked towards this goal as head of Drafting and Design for Cambridge Chemical Technologies, a green energy start-up, from 2007 until 2014. In 2011 I began collaborating with other like-minded creative professionals to form a creative non-profit CEMMI, the Collaborative Electronic Mixed-Media Institute. I was a leader in project management, producing public art exhibits, curating gallery events, and coordinating fundraisers, all the while actively introducing my own vision of inspiring, enabling, and promoting technological creativity.I volunteer my time and creative ideas to bring to life projects that align aesthetics, novel technologies, and self-expression in the realm of public art. I have worked as an artist and coordinator for public art festivals in the greater Boston area as well as in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where I spent my formative years and still have strong ties to the community. Since 2014 I have been the mastermind behind a real estate venture in ethical redevelopment in the South Bronx. Together with other investors we have acquired adjoining properties that provide below market rate housing for local artists as well as for newcomers to the city who are looking to lay down roots. We are building a shared workshop and maker space that includes a full sewing studio, music production, a digital architecture lab, as well as woodworking and welding. I am currently pursuing a degree in Architecture and Urban Design at Columbia University; I have earned my place on the Dean's List with a 3.7 GPA.
Listed skills include Graphic Design, Web Design, Autocad, P&Id, and 15 others.
