Hi, I'm Joseph!
I am a third-year undergraduate at the University of Florida's College of Design, Construction and Planning studying Sustainability and the Built Environment + Geodesign.
I seek to work at the intersection of equitable spatial planning, technology, and environmentalism. Currently, I work in the GeoPlan Center as a student assistant. In the past, I've been a DAAD RISE scholar (2023) and Brown Center Path to Purpose Community Fellow (2021-22). Outside of class and work, I love being outside! I enjoy spending my free time volunteering at Grace Grows community garden, reading in my hammock, or sketching the buildings on UF's campus. I minor in German and I'm passionate about language learning. It's amazing to discover what nuggets of knowledge a language can contain about the culture it is spoken in, which I also see as a mirror for self-reflection on my own life.
