What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I enjoy spending time outdoors with my two kids, Franco (10) and Birdie (5). We spend a lot of time biking, gardening and exploring the woods. My husband and I are also renovating our 1940s home, and we enjoy traveling with our family.
What are your most impactful projects at DRAW?
Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf – Administrative Wing: I really enjoyed working with the school to design their new administrative offices and implementing Deaf Space guidelines into their space to make it more comfortable and accessible for all users.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania Career and Professional Development Center: The IUP CPDC staff wanted to create a space that students would feel welcome in and encouraged to utilize. We worked to create a center that felt like a coffee shop and I really enjoyed designing it with the IUP team and am proud of the project outcome.
Mt. Lebanon Library: I am greatly enjoying working with the Mt. Lebanon Library to develop a master plan for the library. The library is such an important community asset to communities and families, throughout their entire lives and I am thrilled to be able to work with them as they look towards the future.
