I am an architect with extensive experience in government, judicial, health care, educational, and scientific research facility projects. My responsibilities have included design, client relations, presentation, writing, research, consultant coordination, code compliance, LEED certification review, contract documentation, project delivery and construction administration. Presently, I am pursuing certification in the National Sustainable Building Advisor Program and studying ecological engineering. Besides practicing architecture, I also continue to passionately follow my fine arts background in drawing, painting, writing, and music.
