About 

I am a graduate student in the Bioregional Planning and Community Design Program (BIOP) at the University of Idaho.   The Bio-regional Planning Program provided me with great opportunities to advance my understanding in basic planning, basic skills in computer software including Word processing, spreadsheets, graphics/computer and mapping in Geographic Information System (GIS).  The BIOP provided me with great opportunities to advance my understanding in spatial relationships and to visualize the effects of plans and designs.  BIOP focuses on bioregional theory, practice, policy, law and public administration. The main focus of the program is on the bioregional landscape and its importance to site design and land planning.

Having earned a Master of Science in BIOP, I have an understanding in sustainable development, efficient conservation planning and management.  All of these skills collaborate in the practice of art design at many levels, including open space planning, mixed-use community, programs and policies that sustain and enhance their culture, economic development and urban renewal.   For my internship in McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS), I gained experience in drafting construction details, and formatted graphic base map for field Campus in Adobe CS5 programs.  For my graduate assistantship at the University of Idaho I was able inventory Rail to Trail project for Clearwater County.
