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.
