Favorite MOA Project
The Stanley Film Center is one of my favorite MOA projects. Bringing an auditorium to a small tourist community is especially exciting, and the complexity of the project is part of what I love about architecture. Coordinating the many interconnected elements and seeing them come together as a cohesive, functional space was both challenging and rewarding.
A project I'm most proud of:
Mount Sequoyah master planning (Fayetteville AR)
Dream project:
CLT projects
A lesson I’ve learned from a mentor:
Think before reacting, nothing needs to be answering immediately with emotion. Our jobs evoke emotion but our legal obligations are driven by well thought out plans.
My Zodiac sign:
Gemini
Hobbies:
Hiking, Backpacking, Kayaking, Volleyball
One thing I can't live without:
Caffeine, its a lifestyle
Favorite hike?
Havasupai Falls
Most adventurous thing I've done:
10 day Backpacking trip split between two parts of the US. Half on a river and half in the grand canyon.
