I am a licensed Architect with the State of Tennessee. I have Masters degrees in Architecture and Urban Planning from the University of Illinois. I also have an MBA from Middle Tennessee State University. I am a senior project manager for Middle Tennessee State University in the office of Campus Planning. I always tell people I became interested in Architecture from Bob Vila and watching This Old House. I still love to watch home improvement shows. My interest in Urban Planning started with my studio classes. I discovered I was interested in more than just my site. I wanted to know the history of the area and how my site relates to the entire context. My interest in business started with my Dad and being introduced to Dale Carnegie when I was in high school. He used to teach the classes back in the day and we still discuss his principles today. I am a self-starter, always eager to learn to try new things, and have excellent management skills.
