Bio

Hello! I am currently a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati, where I am pursuing a master's degree in Architecture. I am currently in my thesis year, and my research is focused on the ability of architecture to create spaces that empower women. I am also researching the design of domestic violence shelters, as this will be the project to accompany my research.

During my undergraduate and graduate education, I have had the opportunity to gain experience at a variety of architecture firms through the co-op program offered at the University of Cincinnati. My roles within firms have ranged from marketing materials, proposals, design, construction documents, and the creation of digital modeling / graphic representations for projects.

I spend my time outside of work / school renovating historic buildings (the older the better) and remaining involved in the fine arts - from printmaking and sketching to playing the piano and bass guitar.
