¡Hola!

My name is Leslie and I am an aspiring architect dedicated to designing spaces that promote environmental stewardship and enhance community well-being.

Currently pursuing a Master’s of Architecture II at Harvard University Graduate School of Design as a Dean's Merit Scholar, 2024 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow and 2025 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 BNIM, Studio 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!
