EXPERIENCE
Sustainable Design Group LLC Palmer, Alaska May 2013-Present
As and intern/entry level employee I have worked on a wide variety of projects. I have gained experience in community, government, and residential based projects.

I have also spent time in the field preforming site assessments, client meetings, community meetings, and also exploring Alaska with a unique design perspective. sustainabledesignllc.com
Spence Restoration Nursery Muncie, Indiana May 2012-August 2012
In this summer position I worked with a wealth of native Midwestern plants. I was exposed to a great variety of both prairie and aquatic plants from tubers and seeds to shipments of orders. I became very familiar with identification, handling, planting and care of native flora. spencenursery.com
Grimes Aquatech Pools and Spas Bloomington, Indiana May 2011-August 2011
Positioned as a landscape crew member, I constructed dry fit limestone retaining walls, stairs, and other site features. I also consulted on planting plans, plant selection, and design desires with residential clients. My tasks provided first hand experience with both design and build aspects of residential designs that featured major recreational water features. grimespools.com
