As an adjunct professor, I taught architectural studio courses, graphic representation courses, and freshman seminars in the Department of Architecture, Design & Urbanism

I collaborated with LAND Italia to develop cross-disciplinary research. The research focused on mitigating physiological and psychological health issues with landscape and urban design interventions.

In this role, I collaborated with professionals of various disciplines (psychology, medicine, and neuroscience). Through the gathering of research insights and environmental affordances to the creation of easily understandable architectural diagram and graphics, I learned the logistics behind integrating neuroscience and psychology research into the architectural design process to bring evidence-based design to fruition.

In this role, I am responsible for all phases of the design from spatial programming, design development, code reviews, zoning analysis, exterior detailing, construction documentation, client/consultant coordination, developing meeting minutes and agendas, construction administration and site visits.MIXED USE PROJECTS:201 South Main Street | Mixed Use | South Bend, Indiana (2020)
