Currently living in Chicago, a graduate of University of Illinois Champaign Urbana, I am pursuing a career in Architecture. With a background in landscape architecture and urban planning, I look to fine commonalities in these distinct disciplines.
With work previously receiving recognition from the ASLA, RIBA, The Atlantic, and other news outlets, I look to work with people invested in new architecture.

-Educational Trail Plan
-Construction Documents for Site Amenities
I worked under Architecture faculty during a summer internship to redevelop local park projects. The job entailed planning a site analysis and creating a new site plan for Papago Park in Phoenix, AZ. Through design fundamentals, we designed a bench for an education trail. The site plan also included a new planting design of native mesquite growth in phases. The location of the park being dry, and arid without irrigation created limits of the project which were adhered by placing vegetation along riparian areas.
