I have recently graduated with honors from the University of Illinois landscape architecture undergraduate program. I an actively seeking employment in the design field.
Throughout my studio, theoretical and technical coursework I developed a keen interest in the design challenges of urban projects, both social and environmental. I am interested in designing for social sustainability and to create active, engaging and meaningful spaces that bring cities and communities to life.
My professional goals in landscape architecture are to provide creative solutions for the built environment and engage people in dynamic places that foster both social and natural systems while promoting a culture of sustainability.
