About 

I will graduate in May 2013 with Honors from State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree. Throughout my studies, I have pursued extracurriculars, internships, and independent coursework relating to the revitalization of post-industrial urban landscapes. In my final year, I completed my independent thesis project analyzing landscape infrastructure in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I would like to continue to explore the integration of landscape, infrastructure, and architecture as a professional and later as a graduate student. I am a dual citizen of the United States and New Zealand and aspire to create sustainable and beautiful landscapes in both countries and worldwide during my career.
