Origins of BCRC

For the better part of the last decade, I have devoted myself to studying and understanding the built environment and its complexities. While completing dual master’s degrees at the University at Buffalo, I held several positions that cultivated a broad and versatile skill set. After graduating, I applied those skills across a range of roles: freelance drafting and preservation work, program coordination for a nonprofit, and three years as a planning consultant at CPL Architecture, Engineering & Planning. Those experiences sharpened my abilities and confidence, culminating in the launch of BCRC in late 2025.
