I set out to Seattle back in 2006 to open my heart, eyes, and mind to opportunities to come, eventually leading me to Pittsburgh PA. I have traveled vastly and learned earnestly, continuing to do so as I seek to deepen clarity for good design and ecologically restorative buildings. I am a proud mother to a bright-hearted son and wife to a devoted father, partner and artist.

I am an practicing architect at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and a part of the broader sustainable design community. Architecture, revitalization of the environment, affordable housing and community connectivity are my passions. I continue to seek opportunities to develop as an architect, and grow as an engaged member of the community. I believe in my work and convinced through collective duty we can elevate design and life around us.
