About 

I am a graduate student at The Pennsylvania State University and will be earning my Masters of Science in Landscape Architecture in May of 2013. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from The University of Kentucky in 2011 and immediately entered graduate school.

Upon graduation I will be searching for a job in the professional field of landscape architecture or community planning. My interests are very large and I am willing to work in a variety of fields within landscape architecture in order to gain experience.
