Personal StatementMy devotion to Landscape Architecture and Urban Design began with an eye-opening six month residency in London, England. Being accessible to many historic and contemporary urban green spaces inspired me to create similarly vibrant parks within urban areas and, through them, dynamic and livable cities. My work to date has been focused on design and preservaion in small integrated local projects. I seek a dynamic organization that will facilitate the accomplishments of my personal goals; offering a variety of green places for urban dwellers to engage with nature in their community and environments.
