About 

As a recent M.Arch graduate, I am seeking an intern architect position at a firm where I can collaborate in a studio setting, explore various building types, and contribute to a culture of innovation.

My experience includes professional architecture work, teamwork in a multicultural setting, research & writing skills, leadership & mentoring. Achievements have been recognized through scholarships and fellowship awards. My background in film, art history, archaeology, and elementary education provides me with a unique perspective and varied skills.

Outside of architecture, I love exploring my relatively new home of the Pacific Northwest via long drives, hikes, camping, and fishing trips. Along the way, I attempt to capture the natural beauty of the region via photographs.

Charles Winthrop Lea III Memorial Scholarship, Scholarship

Received while at the University of Washington.
The donors’ primary desire in establishing this scholarship is the attainment of improved architectural design. Charles Winthrop Lea III received his Bachelor of Architecture from the College in 1963 and, sadly, died in a car accident that same year. His parents immediately established a memorial scholarship in his name so that his “professional promise could be realized through the achievements of architecture students aided by this scholarship."
