I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I have 2 older siblings. I did my undergrad in Buenos Aires where I studied Architecture at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, and in my fourth year, I did an exchange program at Virginia Tech. It was then that I decided that I wanted to expand my education and if possible do so in an American institution. Rice is a great community, which is a really important part of why I chose to come here. Let me know if I can help in any way or answer any questions!

Favorite thing about Rice:

The people!

Favorite thing about Houston:

The trees!

Why did you decide to go to grad school?

I wanted to have an international living and educational experience, and wanted to pursue a master's degree to expand my education.
