I LOVE traveling, reading, hiking & and skiing. Other than that, I enjoy meeting new people, trying new foods, and making memories.

What are your most impactful projects at DRAW?

I’m fairly new to the firm, but from what I’ve gotten to work on so far, I think my most impactful project was South Fayette Intermediate School. We had the opportunity to design their World of Work spaces which were not only so fun to design, but also such a wonderful program to see provided for students that young.

What keeps you coming back to work everyday?

Honestly, the people. Every single person I have had the pleasure of meeting at DRAW has not only expressed so much compassion toward the work that that they do, but have shown it in the way that they treat everyone around them. I am so lucky to work in such an uplifting and inspiring environment.

What is your dream destination?

To Travel to? Either Scotland or Amsterdam. To live in? San Francisco.

What is your bucket list item?

Honestly, I don’t really have one other than live my life to the absolute fullest. Travel, make new friends, and do what makes me happy.
