I’m drawn to urban design that blends ecology, culture, and community to create more resilient places.
Professionally, I've focused on engaging communities with resource-efficient decarbonization initiatives (specifically, thermal energy networks) through workshops, coalition-building, and education initiatives.
I hold a Master’s in Urban Design from the UNC Charlotte David R. Ravin School of Architecture, where I explored design approaches across scales, from individual sites to city systems.
In the arts, my projects and research have centered environmental narratives, interdisciplinary art practices, and curatorial activism. Through this work, I’ve witnessed how connecting artists with communities can catalyze the kinds of critical conversation and collective dreaming that help us envision more equitable, joyful futures.
I grew up in Vermont’s Mad River Valley and am currently based in Charlotte, NC. I’ve also spent time living and learning in Brooklyn, NY; Cambridge, MA; Florence, Italy; and Burlington, VT.
