Designers have long known that we are stewards of the health, safety and welfare of the public. It is my pleasure to now serve my community in an elected capacity to continue this work, as well as being an advocate for proactive strategies, systems and structures within the Metro KC region that will draw down greenhouse gases, improve climate resilience and generate corresponding economic, social, health, and quality of life benefits.

In addition to executing the successful implementation of contract furnishings on corporate, education, and hospitality projects I also now oversee the team of Project Mangers at encompas and serve in a leadership role within the organization.

As an interior designer at AECOM (formerly Ellerbe Becket), I had the opportunity to travel the world and work on the most amazing projects for NBA, NFL, Collegiate and Civic sports clients. Designing these massive, complex buildings provided me with a solid foundation of skills which include the entire design process, MEP coordination, finish and lighting specification, construction documents and construction administration.
