Riviera Maya bike rides 🌿 Architecture teaches me how to shape space while nature teaches me how to shape myself. Self reflection mode on this beautiful coastline! #mexicotravel #visitmexico #mexicoturismo #travelgram #bahiaprincipe

I recently completed a 2.5-year term as a zoning board member for my local town! I can’t stress enough the weight an architect can have serving in such a capacity. Bringing perspectives on sustainable land planning, neighborhood impact, and innovative design truly helps guide development in a more intentional, community-focused direction.

I love that I’ve been seeing more climate change exhibitions at children museums pop up over the last decade! I always hope that this will inspire solutions oriented aspirations and encourage the next generation to be eco-conscious in both their personal and professional lives. The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY offers one such interactive display on sustainable building materials, renewable forms of energy, carbon emissions impacts on our planet, etc. It’s great for both adults and children.

Balancing life as a mom of two and a driven professional means knowing when to pause. Using this chapter to grow personally, reset, and prepare for the next phase of my career with renewed energy! #maternityleave #momlife #career #architect
