I am a fourth year Master of Architecture and Management student at the University of Kansas I am looking for an internship experience that will allow me to translate the skills I have learned in the classroom into a professional setting and gain more experience working on team projects. I will be graduating from KU in May 2024 and plan on pursuing full-time employment at a firm after graduation.

Quindaro Community Center and Garden

Location: Kansas City, KS

Size:

40,000 SQFT

Category: Community Center

The city of Quindaro, located on the northern border of Wyandotte County Kansas, is a place of rich history and culture. The residents of Quindaro know this better than anyone. They have tried to preserve their past by saving the Quindaro Ruins from becoming a landfill and establishing multiple museums within the neighborhood. Sadly, a lack of funding and care from outsiders has kept these projects from moving forward. Quindaro needs someone to care as much as they do.

The Lawrence Transit Center

Location: Lawrence, KS

Size:

34,000 SQFT

Category: Public Transit Hub

Our site is currently the parking lot on the corner of Vermont Street and 8th. It has served the the Lawrence community for many years as people flocked to the downtown area. With close proximity to Mass Street and the Lawrence Public Library, this corner sees a lot of foot and car traffic. Buses are also a common sight because they currently use the library as a hub for many of the routes that disperse around town. As many as seven buses will sit on Vermont Street at one time allowing for large amounts of people to get access to downtown. The buildings immediately surrounding the site are the shops and restraunts lining Mass Street and the adjacent buildings on Vermont Street. With so much parking in close proximity to the site, it is very logical to get better use out of our site. The proposed transit center will bring many positives to the site and add to the community overall by providing a hub to get to and from the downtown area.

Dirt Works Design Build: Haven

Location: Kansas City, KS

Size: 1,700 SQFT

Category:

Single-Family Home

This net-zero energy home designed for 205 Orchard Street has been named Haven in recognition of its role as a refuge for a family in crisis, a place that affords the family an opportunity to feel safe and secure while looking toward a brighter future. The schematic design of Haven is rooted in two simple, familiar forms: a protective gable roof that folds down to form the north wall and floor, and a warm wrapper that balances refuge with prospect. The west facade selectively opens up to the street to provide a warm, inviting connection to the broader community while maintaining privacy and protection from the afternoon sun. The south facade is more generously open to the views across the open field to the south as well as to receive ample sun for passive heating in the winter (and protected by an awning to eliminate overheating in the summer). The east facade opens onto a private rear yard and to the distant, yet spectacular views of the downtown Kansas City skyline.

Le Droit Apartments

Location: Washington

Size:

D.C.

~65,000 SQFT

Category:

Affordable Housing/ Mixed-Use

The Le Droit Apartments are a result of a master plan that adds affordable housing and mixed-use units to a neighborhood that is lacking in such. The site is located just north of downtown Washington D.C. and across the street from Howard University. Focusing on low-income and elderly tenants, the apartments will provide place that is welcoming and useful. I wanted to focus specifically on the low-income students of Howard since the lot is the closest to the university and the gateway into the rest of the project.

The main goal was create a place that anyone would love to live at and where people and businesses could prosper together. I also wanted to add as much green space to the project as possible in order to help mitigate runoff and provide a better quality of life for the residents.

Architecture in Asia Study Abroad

Location:

Singapore and Malaysia

Length:

3 Weeks

In my first experience outside of the country, I experienced some of the best architecture and buildings in the world. I have never been more inspired to continue my career in architecture than after this experience. Learning so much from the architects and buildings in real life is something that can not be replicated. Seeing how climate and government can have such a positive impact on architecture made me incredibly jealous, however I believe this experience will motivate me to inspire change wherever I go. I also am grateful I got to experience this trip with so many great people and professors. The trip would not have been the same without them.

From left to right top row: - The food was a huge movie. - The Petronas Towers opservation

huge part of the experience, this is some seafood pasta I had in Singapore. - The Gardens by the Bay in Singapore were something out of a science fiction opservation deck had the best view of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. - The Oasia Hotel in Singapore took green architecture to a different level.

From left to right bottom row: - The Changi Airport and Jewel were a pleasent sight arriving and leaving Singapore. - The Hive was definitley one of the most unique buildings in Malaysia and maybe in the world that I had ever been to. - The Star in Singapore had an incredible open-air atrium that was a perfect spot to eat some ice cream.
