Currently I’m working in my
masters degree at The University of Tokyo in Japan and researching how Social Network Sites affects cities and therefore how can we use this data to improve our cities.

I was born in Dominican Republic where also did my bachelors in architecture and had professional experience in architecture and landscaping architecture. After my bachelors I won the Monbukagakusho Scholarship which gave me the opportunity to study at the University of Tokyo where got the chance to learn and work with traditional and contemporary Japanese architects.

One of the bests experiences that I can briefly share are about working in Kengo Kuma’s office for local and international projects and in the my university’s lab we redesign a few towns with our professors guidance after the 3 / 1 1 earthquake events.
