Undergraduate degree: Michigan State University, Urban and Regional Planning, 2011

Prior to SNRE: I worked for a semester and summer at the Livingston County Road Commission.

Why Landscape Architectre?: I really enjoyed the design aspect of Urban Planning and wanted to pursue that further. I actually talked with Sue Gott, the university planner at U of M, and she helped me pinpoint what program suited my interests best.

The best part of SNRE so far: The program is challenging right off the bat, but you have your classmates to support you. I have enjoyed the design process along with the ecological and social aspects that accompany a design. Also, we have been given wonderful "real world" projects to work on.

After graduation: First, I would like to work in public practice to gain more experience in the process of a project. Then, I would like to work for a private firm where I can actually create designs.
