Eileen completed undergraduate studies at The Ohio State University and then worked at a small residential firm in Ohio before moving to Colorado for graduate school. While at CU Denver, Eileen participated in the Colorado Building Workshop, the design build program at the College of Architecture and Planning. She helped design and construct Confluence Hall for the Colorado Outward Bound school in Moab, Utah. She began working at MOA in 2018 and her first project was Ricardo Flores Magon Academy in Denver. She has since been involved in the design and construction of a variety of projects across multiple sectors, including K-12, Healthcare, and Commercial/Hospitality. Eileen leads the Giving by Design committee at MOA and participates in the Cleworth Architectural Legacy project each year where she has the opportunity to teach young students about architecture and design.

Favorite MOA Project

The Stanley Chocolate Factory! The Old Church Shops was an important building with a long history in Estes Park; however, it was in need of ADA and fire safety upgrades and was ready for a new chapter. Although a small building, this was one of the most challenging projects I have worked on because of its complexity; I spent many hours taking as-built measurements, modeling the existing building, and trying to figure out how to fit in all the new amenity space the owner wanted. You wouldn't know it from the outside, but there are nine different floor levels in that building, including two new roof top decks, and all new stairs connecting them. The owner was very involved during construction, and our team was always ready to react to changes and additions to bring his vision to life. I am so proud of the transformation, and I hope residents and visitors of Estes Park enjoy the new space.
