It started with a window view 14 floors up, staring out from my mom’s office in Boston, watching the city unfold during rush hour. I didn’t know it yet, but I was already analyzing land use, traffic flow, and why some corners of the city were bustling while others just... didn’t.
From there, I fell into a planning rabbit hole: simulating intersections, sketching skylines, and exploring cities on foot with more curiosity than most tourists. I wasn’t just sightseeing, I was dissecting streetscapes, noting curb geometry, and questioning signal timing. (Yes, really.)
Today, I combine that same energy with real-world tools: GIS, Rhino, policy research, and a planner’s eye for equity. Whether I’m redesigning a corridor in New Jersey or mapping transit access in Boston, I’m always asking myself the same question: how do we make cities more human, connected, and alive?
Featured on Rutgers campus buses in 2025, I was selected to represent the Urban Planning & Design major as part of the university’s undergraduate advertising campaign. I’m part of a new generation of planners, blending creativity and data to design more inclusive, intuitive cities.
My profile and quote appeared on a series of 24”x42” decals installed across campus transit. Smaller poster-sized versions were also printed for display, spotlighting student voices in city-making.
