Everyday I feel fortunate to be working in a profession I dreamed of when I was just a kid. It was my curiosity about the built environment that brought me to a Kid Architecture camp at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, where I eventually earned my Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies, followed by a Master of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis.Over the years, my well-rounded skills have allowed me to be an integral team leader from concept to project close-out. Known for my collaborative, inclusive nature, I am most interested in the experience we are able to create through design and find the most successful projects begin with a strong and communicative relationship with the client.I strive for excellence in all projects and endeavor to deliver thoughtful, beautiful, and well-detailed work. My experience in many project types, including workplace, corporate campuses, innovation spaces, K-12, higher education, early childhood education, senior housing, and residential, has given me the skills it takes to bring a project from programming and conceptual design through construction.
