PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am passionate about re-imagining spaces through projects that have the potential to improve people’s lifestyles. Since my professional background is primarily in shopping centers and residential developments, I know that my experience can be convenient to carry out mixeduse projects. These projects will allow me to apply and expand the knowledge I have gained in Housing and Urbanism at the AA, while exploring new ways to integrate and enhance the urban environment.
