As an Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow, she worked with a non-profit housing developer and operator of senior housing in the North Eastern market.

One of her main passions is community development encompassing the design of both civic buildings and housing. Her main goal is to help bring the benefits of architecture and design to the people who need it most and help foster strategic partnerships with other entities and providers of services which help sustain and enhance community life.One of her favorite quotes by Samuel Mockbee: “Architecture has to be greater than just architecture. It has to address social values, as well as technical and aesthetic values. On top of that, the one true gift that an architect has is his or her imagination. We take something ordinary and elevate it to something extraordinary.”Specialties: Public & Academic Libraries, Affordable Housing Development & Community Based Projects.
