I am an inclusive designer whose comprehensive approach engenders discussion across a variety of professions and client types. My design process utilizes these perspectives to create substantive ideas from sketches and computer modeling through final construction. My ideal position would involve working with a dynamic team able to work with a variety of project types and complexities with a focus on large scale design.

Resident Scholar - McNamara/VATech Fellowship, Urban Land Institute, Scholarship
This fellowship allowed me to research and study the broader implications of the designed world, ie implications of water and energy use and interdependence. While following my own personal research imperatives, I also researched various other land issue topics for the ULI publications. Working for ULI as a fellow allowed me to interact with and learn from immensely knowledgeable Senior Fellows, researchers and Senior level VPs.
The fellowship paid for a year of my Master's program as well as over $14,000 researching and working for ULI.
