¡Hola!


My name is Leslie and I am an aspiring architect interested in educuational architecture, adaptive reuse, and cultural heritage as ways to support the environment and stengthen communities. 

Recently graduated from the Master’s of Architecture II program at Harvard University Graduate School of Design as a Dean's Merit Scholar and 2024 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow.

This fall, I will be pursuing architecture research in Italy as a 2025 Harvard GSD Rafael Moneo Rome Prize Recipient.

Obtained a Bachelor’s of Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design with double-minors in Nature Sustainability and Latin-American Cultural Studies.

Previously worked with BNIMStudio Gang and Sweet Water Foundation.

My passions in architecture and education have led me to founding my community organization, First-Gen Chisme. Dedicated to empowering first-generation youth through the intersections of culture, design and education.


Beyond work, I enjoy handcrafting Mexican beaded jewelry, exploring nature, and playing fútbol with my family!
