- 1. landscape architecture portfolio Ibelieve we can transform minds, communities, and cultures through good design, design that is poetic, reponsible and dy- namically responsive to the web of context. I pursue a career that will contribute to compassion and consciousness.. This career will be marked with collaborative creativity, ecological fluency, and intrepid exploration that will only grow with wisdom and finesse. I want to help people fall in love with landscapes that have been trampled or neglected, overlooked or des- ecrated. Maybe then, the frayed relationship between culture and land will have a chance to heal. Let’s see what happens.

Her past professional experience in community watershed education, environmental education, and social research merge synergistically with landscape architecture to transform spaces, minds and communities. Skills and Experience Organized focus groups for exploring ecotourism perceptions in Central Appalachia resulting in a design research paper. Conducted a community design charrette in wayfinding design which fed into an iterative design process, resulting in a community wayfinding design and plan for Hinton, WV. Produced a stream restoration design with in-stream structures and grading for Slab Cabin Run, PA based on collected geomorphological field data and GIS analysis. Experience in creating 3D renderings of green stormwater design representing seasonal and temporal changes. Extensive experience in digital rendering and graphic design in order to present design ideas, plans, and concepts. Designed a herpetology outdoor classroom pond for Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, which was thus constructed. Designed an agroforestry plan for a farm to integrate shitake production and ginseng cultivation. GIS analysis with HEC-RAS and WIN TR-20 of Loyalsock Creek watershed to predict the economic impact of an expanding floodplain resulting from Marcellus Gas development, and offering BMP’s to mitigate stormwater impacts. Produced a green stormwater design for an environmental center using swales, retention basins, and native planting design. Designed, tested and implemented a survey instrument assessing computer literacy throughout West Virginia; trained and led a team of community interviewers to conduct face-to-face interviews; analyzed data and produced graphic reports. Created an environmental leadership curriculum and lead multi-day retreats for youth in West Virginia.

- 4. Standing Forest Design Intent:To facilitate a contemplation of the relationship between person and place. First, to undercut the habitual estrangement between person and place, this estrangement is exaggerated, thereby bringing this unnatural di- chotomy the the forefront of one’s consciousness. Whilst engaging this stark separation, these desired and unattainable locations draw our attention toward a tangible sense of longing, wonder, or a contemplation of our relationship with the place in which we find ourselves.

Plant Pallette Plan Schematic Vignette1 Vignette 2 Woodland CorridorA transition in succession from the meadow to the woodland corridor allows the pedestrian to slow and absorb the calming forms of an eastern mesophytic forest. Both an escape destination and a path, the mixed bed breaks the hard edges of the Earth Science and Engineering building, and creates eddies of space and energy. The native plant palette takes advantage of the contextual sun-richness, blocks the winter western winds and invites the cool summer breezes. The corridor presents itself as a threshold with an intimate space to look and learn more closely about the plant community.
