I am always fascinated with the built environment, trying to understand why we build and
create buildings. My love for design grew into a study of Architecture, which organically
fused with a passion for understanding culture, architecture, history and the financial
backings that make preservation projects work. Today, I have diverse experience in the
field of historic preservation by working in development, architectural reviews, building
examining, social media, public speaking, nonprofit, volunteering and more. My active
lifestyle, eagerness to learn, attend events, all steams from my excitement to become an
expert in my field.
