An architect, mom, foodie, urban farmer, and electric car / clean energy advocate, I serve as Sustainability Director for LS3P Associates, 350-person architecture firm located in the Carolinas and Georgia. I am a Rocky Mountain Institute alum and, as a member of the AIA COTE AG, a national voice for bioclimatic, high-performance buildings, and environmental accountability – promoting energy and ecological awareness, defending sustainable preservation, exploring new technologies, connecting to global sustainability issues including climate resilience, water scarcity, cultural sustainability, local food and local economies... while creating beautiful and inspiring buildings, places, and cities.
