As a graduate student I have been apart of unique studios that have given me the opportunity to create projects that have helped to shape and educate a community. The tectonic and materiality studio was an opportunity to design a pavillion in which visitors can be educated about the landscape while the master planning project was an opportunity to propose ideas that would help benefit a community in need of spaces and help persuade a community to build a "green parking lot" in order to address a concern with in the community.
