BS in Architecture - University of Maryland, CP

Masters in Architecture - University of Colorado, Denver

I started out by working for an architecture and engineering firm for a couple years in Washington, DC.  Then, I moved to Colorado in '99 to go to grad school and to find a place I wanted to stay and build a life.  Now, after 10 years in the field, I find myself continually challenged and stretched by my profession, so that in spite of the long hours and lack of riches, I still enjoy it.  I have worked on an unusually broad spectrum of project types and have found that management experience seems unavoidable to those who are capable and can be persuaded to accept it.

2006 - B. Arch - University of Kansas

I have 2.75 years of architecture experience in which I worked on the production side of various densities of residential architecture such as single family, walk-up townhomes, wraps, and podium projects.  I also oversaw the materials library in the office and coordinated the stick lunch program.  I am currntly working to complete my IDP hours so I can begin taking my AREs to become a licensed architect.

2004 - Bachelor of Interior Design - LSU in Baton Rouge, LA 

Thrown into the healthcare team as an intern with The Lawrence Group in St. Louis 5 years ago, all because "they were busy at the time and needed some help", I never dreamed that Healthcare was the realm in which I'd still be practicing interior design.  But it is, and I love it.  I have had the enjoyment of working on several projects at St. Louis Children's Hospital; a multi-phased renovation of an emergency department; and a beautiful, atypical cancer center.  Besides healthcare projects, I have worked on multiple restaurants, a children's daycare center, and a variety of graphic design projects.

Landscape Architecture combines my professional interests in business, design and community investment.  My years of practice have provided an opportunity to shape the outdoor living space of universities, elematary schools, transit oriented commercial sites and rural as well as urban hospitals.  In addition I enjoy working with municipal agencies and presenting to community neighbors and town councils to gain support and regulatory approval of development permits.

1989 - Bachelors of Science in Housing, Interior Design, and Resource Management with a Minor in Art & Art History - Virginia Tech

I started my career in Washington D.C. providing design services for the State Dept., Pentagon, NASA, FBI amongst many other federal agencies.  After driving a 15 foot rental truck to Colorado, I worked as a jewelry designer and then with Herman Miller until joining an international architectural firm and working with the associates of industry leaders such as PEI, Hampton and Hunt.  I was invited to audition for HGTV, but had a wedding date conflict. (Alas, design for the TV masses was not an ultimate "passion"...)  As a Lead Designer/Project Manager, I have overseen numerous projects: airports, embassies, corporate, public, healthcare, luxury hotels, retail, residential, museums and even a hocky rink.  While having received some awards and publications, the true reward is having a positive impact on the quality of people's lives.  Currently I own my own design firm while exploring design journalism in order to expand public awareness of design education.  My ultimate focus is on green healthcare/hospitality design with the parallel goal of pro bono design in economically challenged communities.  "Retirement will be digging out a foundation for a rural Bangladesh clinic.  Rock on Grandma...."
