Background

I am an enthusiastic recent transplant to Portland from Jacksonville, FL via Auburn University where I earned a Bachelor of Architecture. While at Auburn, I spent two-and-a-half years at Auburn University's Rural Studio in rural west Alabama where myself and 3 teammates designed and constructed a transient shelter to serve local unhoused individuals. I am passionate about designing with dignity and health at the forefront of the design process and seek ways to continue to grow this passion professionally. I am also interested in being part of a professional community in which I can learn and implement new sustainable building practices to protect our planet better while also protecting the health and safety of builders and occupants through thoughtful materials selection. I look forward to collaborating with Portland designers and builders soon.

  Graduated Summa Cum Laude in May of 2022. After graduating, I stayed on with my design-build student team to see through the construction of our thesis project. The 4 of us designed and built a transient shelter to serve unhoused individuals in Perry County, Alabama. We partnered with a local nonprofit that is now managing the site and its occupants. Construction was completed in September 2023. Refer to my portfolio for a detailed look at our work.
