“As a landscape designer at Site Workshop, I am passionate about creating holistic and thoughtful places that serve communities and make a lasting impact on future generations. I currently manage several public and private projects including Yesler Terrace Apartments, Be’er Sheva Park, Africatown Plaza and RAVE soccer field in the New Holly neighborhood.

At Jazz House on Beacon Hill, we are collaborating with SPU to understand how we can decrease the impact of polluted street runoff which will eventually enter the Duwamish River. I am interested in how future green infrastructure strategies can be established to help build community wealth and benefit those who have been disproportionately impacted by environmental injustice.”
