About 

As an undergraduate student in both pre- and post-Katrina New Orleans I studied the effect architecture has on a community. After graduation my work in retail, education and government sectors gave me a unique insight into how urban design creates and drives markets. These experiences combine with my time as a charter member of Alpha Rho Chi professional fraternity, responsible for a number of positions including website manager and promotions chair, to bring versatility, focus and determination to any team.

Outside of architecture and graphic design I enjoy knitting, travel and British television. I've loved to read ever since I was old enough to hold up a book on my own, and listen to practically any type of music available.
