Proud to be part of the @cunyalumni network! I can't believe it has already been 17 years since I first joined the system via the Macaulay Honors program. To this day, I still meet CUNY alumni serving in different ranks of local New York City government positions, and/or within the Architecture profession, all from different ethnic and professional backgrounds. It's always fun to swap campus stories with other alumni and discover unique tidbits of history about the various campuses throughout all five boroughs.
Rocking my swag, thanks CUNY!

Hey IG Fam! π I'm still in my maternity leave bubble. However, I'm slowly finding time to carve out what 2025 will look like for ME, as I prepare to head back to work towards the year's end.
While my world continues to revolve around this tiny little heartbeat, I'll be coming back with more patience, self-fulfillment and motivation to excel and grow than ever before in my field of Architecture!
That is because Motherhood has rejuvenated my perspectives on everyday challenges. No problem can be too big to tackle now!... πͺ
I originally created this account to document my eco-travels and professional life as an eco-architect. Slowly, as I began connecting with the Instagram community, I realized how much overlap there was in the day to day work of green building design + standards and my personal journey on waste conservation!
Thanks to your engagement, I also recognized the overlap of sustainability in architecture with your own industries! I've made some really neat connections on here due to the content I've both shared and viewed because of all the similar passions we have in raising environmental awareness!!
I've been so caught up with baby boy that I haven't been sharing as much, but it hit me that I'm now finding ways to reduce and reuse with this new human in my life. So, whenever I can spare a few minutes, I'll be sharing those tips for inspiration!
Pictured here is a scrapbook I'm creating for him to preserve all the cards and messages he has received from my baby showers and visitors! I'm a sentimental person by nature and wanted to save the love!
Long story short- don't throw out greeting cards, there are so many cool ways to scrapbook them! I even saved those paper amazon package gift messages from deliveries to cut down on paper waste.
