How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
After high school, I was looking for a way to combine my interests in science, math, and art. I attended a summer architecture camp at the University of Nebraska and loved it, officially cementing my passion for creating well-designed spaces.
What do you do?
I spend a lot of time listening. Sometimes the response is creating construction documents, sometimes it’s finding more questions to ask, and sometimes it’s planning the right steps to execute a successful project. After that, I listen again.
What excites you in the work you do?
My job is to support others in creating beautiful and functional spaces that work well for them. Along the way, I get to hear people dream about big ideas, and I get to help them achieve that dream. It’s always exciting, challenging and rewarding.

Featured Project Description:
Milestone Health Partners was born when three doctors recognized a need to unite physical therapy and behavioral healthcare under one roof. Previously delivering services via home visits or in leased spaces, the doctors envisioned 12 private treatment rooms, two therapy gyms, and a large conference room for team-based evaluations. With contemporary materiality, natural light, and a Western mountain vernacular, the building ensures flexibility and provider collaboration for prime patient care.
