My education and work experience within my local community have inspired my passion for sustainable design. My current position as a Sustainability Analyst allows me to work with architects, contractors, and project teams to build greener buildings, and I work with my team at Cyclone Energy Group to offer consulting and analyst services to a variety of outstanding clients.I have been involved in academic research positions in both precision agriculture and textile chemistry. During these experiences, I gained skills in design, experimental, and computational work and have learned the importance of prioritizing sustainability when solving real-world problems. I have also completed a certificate in Interior Architecture, learning about interior design, sustainable design practices, LEED and other Green Building Certifications, and drawing construction documents. Thus, with my unique background in both Engineering and Architecture, I know how to best communicate with engineers, contractors, and architects alike.Over the past 6 years, I have worked directly with my local community in Knoxville, TN. I have served on a planning committee for 4-H education, developed tools for Extension Agents at the University of Tennessee's Herbert College of Agriculture, and worked with local artists and architects to curate and market local art shows.
