ABOUT ME

I am an architect, strategist, and advocate for equity in the built environment. With a passion for healthcare design, intercultural experience, and organizational change, I believe architecture is more than just creating spaces—it’s about shaping communities where everyone belongs. My journey has taken me from Puerto Rico to global leadership, always driven by the idea that design should empower, heal, and inspire. As a leader, I challenge the status quo, amplify diverse voices, and work to ensure that architecture is a profession for all. Let's build a future that is inclusive, impactful, and ready for what’s next.
