North Carolina A&T State University Graduation – May 2021

My love for design began with a childhood fascination for roller coasters. An interest in ride engineering and park history led me to study applied engineering technology, enhancing my project management skills. I apply these and more to my passion for landscape architecture.
I specialize in crafting immersive environments that incorporate wayfinding, placemaking, and elements of play. My focus is on creating dynamic spaces that inspire exploration and enjoyment.
