Why I’m here

I care deeply about the planet and the life we share it with, especially the places most in need of protection, and I want to help restore what’s already been lost. I’m detail-oriented, I enjoy working on teams and learning together, and I want my work to genuinely help people.

Landscape architecture is where all of that can come together. It’s exciting to dream about designing golf courses, parks, reserves, and restoration projects across coastal, forested, and alpine environments, spaces that use fewer resources and work with the land instead of against it. And if we can create inclusive, sustainable spaces that empower people to feel more connected to and invested in the world around them, that’s the goal.
