My written and graphic contest submission was chosen for publication in the third book by Blank Space, entitled "Dear Architecture."

John W. Lawrence Travel Research Fellowship, Award
In 2014 I was awarded the John W. Lawrence Travel Research Fellowship, a grant that allowed me to travel to around 20 marketplaces of varying age in Turkey, Italy, France, Spain, and Morocco. Upon my return I compiled my research and presented it in a lecture to members of the student body. The experience was a major lesson in how people use public space for a myriad of functions, and how modern public spaces compare and contrast with those that have existed for centuries.
