RESEARCH

From synthesizing information across online sources to primary field observations and data collection, I love gathering evidence and developing answers to tough questions

I wrote my senior thesis at Vassar College entitled “Ethical Urban Futures in the Era of Artificial Intelligence," where I took a critical lens to the potential benefits and harms of AI and advocated for a robust, experimental approach.

During my work at mission-driven nonprofit architecture firm MASS Design Group, I applied my academic knowledge in urban studies to the Fringe Cities project. I conducted in-depth research on urban planning departments from the original Fringe Cities exhibition and analyzed their comprehensive plans.
My analysis provided valuable insights for the MASS team, highlighting the varying accessibility of government offices and the differences in the scope and actionability of these plans. This experience allowed me to transform theoretical concepts into practical solutions, reinforcing my commitment to creating urban spaces that effectively and inclusively serve their communities.

I conducted field research and interviews for the Collective for Community, Culture, and Environment in their housing vacancy survey for the city of Poughkeepsie.
The resulting data will help guide the city’s approach to housing and rent control with the potential to help citizens affected by racial, economic, and environmental injustice.

In my Ethnographer’s Craft class, I used ethnographic research methods to study the day-to-day interactions of Bryant Park sub-communities.
My final paper, “The Culture of Bryant Park: How Park Goers Interact with One Another and The Space” can be found here.

In my Design and Innovation for Sustainable Cities program, my small team conducted extensive site visits and secondary research. With this information, we created a SWOT analysis of the marginalized neighborhood that shaped our design.

In my role as a Strategy Consultant at RedBox Innovation US, I engage extensively in market and consumer research. For the project shown below, I was conducting a website analysis and finding comparable precedents.
