Hola!
From Puerto Rico, she is an architect whose work explores the collaborative intersections between art, design, and urbanism, examining their impact on society and vice versa. She embraces temporality as a key attribute to investigate the social and physical transformations of space. A collaborator of PISO Proyecto, she is also a mother of two and an activist. In recent years, she has been actively involved with community organizations in Río Piedras, a district of San Juan, resisting displacement and gentrification while advocating for the preservation of the community's rights, identity, and heritage.
She holds a degree from The School of Architecture of The Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico and a Master’s in Ephemeral Art and Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Her professional experience includes serving as a Project Manager for the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña and the Department of Urban Design for San Juan’s capital, overseeing various architectural improvement projects.
