BCA Studio Resident

Born and raised in Cambridge, MA, I began my career in art historical research and exhibition/publication development. I eventually made a shift to landscape architecture in an attempt to unite my love of art history with a desire to address the crises of today. I studied landscape design and planning at the Conway School, earning a Master of Science in Ecological Design in 2018, followed by a Master of Landscape Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2022. I have worked at residential scales, navigating personal desires with wetland protection policy and conservation goals, up to municipal and planning scales.

In my theoretical work, I focus on post-disaster sites where violence has disrupted relationships between people and land. I seek to reconnect communities to their landscapes through labor and to reimagine our generally extractive views of the ground. My interests center on practices of care, reciprocity, non-scalability, and hybrid labor inspired heavily by the work of Anna Tsing, Alyssa Battistoni, among others. My thesis, titled “Vieques es Nuestra Casa: Ecological Reparation Through Embodied Action,” took on the toxic, post-military legacy on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques and proposed new communal landscapes shaped by the remediation of soil.

I am one member of Post-Perfection Studio with Nelly Kate. We make work that centers humans and care…and we recognize this comes with failure, since we’re intrinsically flawed. We are here to fail forward.
