Experience Planning & Zoning Commission November 2017 - August 2018 / Rifle, CO I serve on the PZC in Rifle Colorado as an alternate member. This means I do not have the power to vote on issues but I still participate otherwise. I was interested in joining for the purpose of becoming involved in my community and to learn more about city planning.
Jeff Johnson Architectural June 2017 - August 2018 / Rifle, CO Immediately upon graduating I returned to my hometown. I was inspired to invest my degree into my community. It is a wonderful rural mountain town on the west side of Colorado. I will have the honor to work on everything from residences to the schools that I grew up in.
Robert G. Sinclair Architecture May 2016 - Aug 2016 / Aspen, CO While at RGS Architecture I was fortunate to get the chance to work on a restaurant and some residential projects. It was a wonderful experience and exposure to client relationship and project discretion since the work tended to lean towards higher end construction.

I was also responsible for preliminary construction sets for projects such as an observatory and a college dormitory.

I collaborated with the designer on site to complete construction drawings for the beachfront residences. I was exposed to the designs of Steve Mouzon, Allison Ramsey & Michael Imber and the construction of their refined detail.
Dept. Facilities Planning, Design & Construction / Lakeland Medical Center June 9 2014 - August 22 2014 / St. Joseph, MI I was responsible for archiving all of the construction documents of the hospital and its associated buildings.
