My name is Elen Baez Sanchez, and I am originally from Cuba. Growing up surrounded by beautiful and historic architecture, I developed a strong interest in the built environment, which led me to pursue a career in this field. I earned my Bachelor of Architecture in Portland, Oregon, and later moved to New York City to continue my academic development. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Historic Preservation at Columbia University, a field I am deeply passionate about. In addition to my studies, I work as an Assistant Editor for Future Anterior and as a Preservation Lab Technician, where I engage with architectural history and conservation through both research and hands-on work.
