While at BSU, I wrote my thesis on urban health and design implications to healthy communities. I minored in Digital Publishing to gain a better understanding of design softwares and media. This included photography, extensive study of the Adobe Creative Suite, and printmaking/publishing. I participated in the Business Fellowship Program which focused on Environments for Health and Healing, and served as team leader and Landscape Architectural consultant. As part of my course work, I participated in studio field studies in New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Pittsburg, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Chicago. While in the College of Architecture and Planning I recieved the Garden Club Scholarship (2005) and made the University and College Deans List 9 times.
