About 

I am a person that cares about the relationships and respect you build with a team through daily design opportunities. I believe these core things lead me to stay inspired and patient when helping lead others through the challenges that arise in every project and team. 

My 5 years of architecture experience are totaled between two firms where I’ve lead and collaborated with teams in a variety of project experience in K-12, Higher Education, Office, Aquatic, Healthcare and Religious. 

I am confident that throughout my experience I’ve developed a skill set directly relevant to a position that includes effectively communicating and coordinating teams through design objectives in construction documents, execution of deadlines and design presentations. 

I’m excited for the potential to combine my artistic talents and technical skills to many projects that create beautiful spaces that serve the greater good. 

Please contact me for any additional information.
