Objective As an aspiring landscape architect, I strive to make a difference in peoples lives and environments by bringing their ideas to life through design. I enjoy working on a wide range of project types and sizes, from large scale to small and conceptual diagrams to construction documents. As a selfmotivated, detail oriented individual, who enjoys working as a team and has a desire to learn, I am looking for employment at a firm where I can work on a range of projects and expand my skills and knowledge of Landscape Architecture as I work toward becoming a licensed Landscape Architect.

Haslett Center Haslett, Michigan
Transit Oriented Design Media: Hand Drafting, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion and Photoshop The Haslett Village project was a transit-oriented design to increase the connectivity of the region around Lansing. The goal was to revitalize a largely vacant strip mall, establishing a Mid-Michigan transit hub. Haslett Center would allow people in the surrounding area to travel more freely by public transportation, using light and heavy rail, as well as rapid bus transit. The hub would include multi-use buildings to give people the ability to live, work, play and shop without traveling to Okemos or Lansing.

Out of the Park Detroit, Michigan
Transit Oriented Design Media: Hand Drafting, SketchUp and V-Ray As a class we looked at the SEMCOG region for ecological design and the best location for transit centers, to create a public transportation network. As a group of two, we picked stormwater management as our main form of ecological design for the surface parking lots around Comerica Park. The design was to create a large greenspace around Comerica Park, that people can enjoy anytime of the week not just on game days. The transit center was designed so that it emerged from the park, creating a hill for kids to run up and down. As part of the stormwater management, we established rain gardens along Woodward Ave for filtration, and a median to help people cross the busy street.

The system is loosely based off of the London Underground using a zoning system to show coverages of different plans using zones to determine cost. The burgundy lines and dots represent Amtrak lines and stations with the other colors and white dots representing light rail lines and stops.

Thompsonville, Michigan Environmental Resort Design Media: Hand Drafting, AutoCAD, SketchUp, V-Ray and Photoshop This project aimed to bring new life to an abandoned Christmas Tree farm as an expansion to Crystal Mountain Resort across the road. The goal of the expansion was to be as environmentally friendly as possible, while providing new, year round activities including a new 18 hole course, ski slopes, a luge run, slides, hiking/snowshoeing educational trails and disc golf. The expansion would include a new club house/event facility, and houses for rent.
