Born and raised on Long Island, New York, my life has been shaped by the challenges of growing up in the suburbs. Navigating the curiosity of the environment around me as a child led me to the world of Urban Planning where I now spend my days working towards creating a more equitable place to live for all people. 

Completing my undergrad in Community Development at Temple University, I was given the most critical experience needed: working collaboratively with communities. Equitable and sustainable development are at the core of my values as I believe the city is a place for all to exist in harmony. I am now furthering my education at Hunter College, pursuing a Masters of Urban Planning. 

In my free time I travel the world, experiencing different urban environments, observing how they function and indulging in the different experiences. You can find me biking all over New York with friends, listening to my record collection, or binge watching obscure youtube documentaries.
