| | Bachelor of Enviornmental Design - University of Colorado Boulder
Master of Architecture & Master of Urban Design - University of Colorado Denver
My professional background is in mixed use, multifamily housing, and some historic preservation, but my passion lies in studying the urban enviornment. I have also recently begun teaching architectural studios at the University of Colorado in the undergraduate program. |
| |
| | I began attending the Women in Design meetings to break into a professional network after finishing up my education in Boulder and quickly realized the importance of giving women in the design profession a group that focused on leadership, professionalism, and a work life balance, so often overlooked and disregarded. In school, I thought there was a more even ratio of women to men, but all my professors with few exceptions, were men. This frustrated me, yet also inspired me to return to the College of Architecture and Planning and contribute to the education of the next generation of designers as well as maintain an active role in a group that I believe is working to breach the glass ceiling. |

| | Michelle has extensive experience in design and project management for civic buildings, including police buildings, courts facilities, jails, libraries, and higher education projects. Her commissions, which are located across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, range in size from 30,000 to 154,000 square feet. For these, her responsibilities have entailed developing preliminary concepts, planning and programming, interior design, detailing, managing the project, coordinating consultants, and coordinating facility security issues. |

| | As a woman, and a Hispanic, Puerto Rican, I understand the need to support women in the construction environment and the difficulties we go through. I believe if we don’t support each other, who will? As I was growing up, my family emphasized that I could do anything I wanted. My mom is a lawyer who, because of her children, decided to stop working to raise us all. She is an amazing woman and her decisions are facing her now, she did not have the support we do now a days but she was strong, smart and like every woman made a lot of sacrifices. Women play an extremely important role in society. We need to get together put our thoughts and ideas out there and help each other to move forward and help our communities and others in the growth of their surroundings and their building environment. How we LIVE can define us all. |

| | Having moved to Denver recently, I found Women in Design to have a great network of female professionals in this new to me area. I have since been inspired by many successful women to pursue the dream of becoming an architect.

The opportunities WID continues to offer in networking with other professionals and students has encouraged me to continue to be a part of my own chosen career. We can make the necessary changes to allow for a variety of voices and faces within the construction industry in Denver and Colorado. |

| | I want to be involved with WID to network with women in the industry. Although it's an important avenue to market and get new projects for my company, I like the opportunity to group with women for both the purpose of socializing as well as associating with female professionals, since my industry is typically so male dominant. It allows me to explore a different perspective. |
