After graduating from Penn State University's landscape architecture program in 2012, I began working for The Grain Collective (http://www.graincollective.com) and several other smaller offices in New York City as a freelance design assistant. After relocating to New York in January, I have been working full-time as a junior designer at the RBA Group's Manhattan office. In addition to my role in the creation of presentation materials and construction documents there, I have also been able to play an active role in the conceptual and schematic design of several projects, including the Rockaway Boardwalks, Roberto Clemente Park and the Delaware River Waterfront Trail in Philadelphia.
