Jacqueline Velez had the chance to talk about the importance of mentoring younger generations, both young men and women, and encouraging them to follow their dreams of becoming architects. I was especially proud to highlight my college intern, Satish Doobay, who is now a third-year student at NYIT City Campus.

I’m truly honored and grateful to have been recognized at the 2nd Annual Queens of Construction event last week.

Thank you to the IIBEC Metro NY Chapter and the Queens & Bronx Building Association (QBBA) for celebrating and uplifting the incredible women shaping the design and construction industry today. It was an inspiring evening surrounded by talented professionals, from property managers and operators to architects and engineers, all coming together to connect, share, and support one another.

A special thank you to Kelly Greenfield of H2M Architects + Engineers for the nomination, and to Vanessa L. Gibson, Bronx Borough President, for her motivating words.

The event, held at the beautiful Renaissance Hall in Astoria, was a wonderful reminder of the power of community and collaboration. Congratulations to all of the 2026 honorees, it was a privilege to celebrate alongside you.

Looking forward to continuing to grow, connect, and contribute to this amazing industry.

Last week, I had the honor of being part of something truly special - Built by Her: Stories of Remarkable Latinas in Architecture.

Being included in Latinas in Architecture, Volume III alongside such an incredible group of women is both humbling and inspiring. Each of us brings a unique story and path, and together, we are helping to shape and strengthen the future of our industry.

I am truly grateful to be part of this movement - helping grow the representation of Latinas in architecture, who make up only about 1% of licensed architects in the U.S., and inspiring the next generation of leaders, both women and men.

Thank you to everyone who made this event so meaningful, and to those who continue to support and uplift our voices.

A special thank you to the AIANY Women in Architecture Committee, Rosalind Tsang, Graciela Carrillo for moderating, Alicia Ponce for making this book possible, and Carol Wedge, AIA for your support of Latinas in Architecture.
Grateful as well to share this experience with fellow panelists Elizabeth Pacheco, Angie Arent, Natasha Espada, and all of the co-authors.

It was a beautiful evening of storytelling, connection, and celebration - and a reminder of the power of representation in shaping the built environment.

Honored to hear the inspiring words of Michael Dowling, CEO Emeritus of Northwell Health, whose leadership as President and CEO for nearly 24 years has left a lasting impact on healthcare.
