About

I received a 5 year professional degree in Landscape Architecture as well as a minor in Horticulture from the University of Georgia in May 2011. I traveled extensively during my time at UGA, participating in a 14 day Garden Tour of Europe through the Horticulture department, as well as a summer study abroad in Cortona, Italy. I also interned with the Fanning Institute, the University's public service and outreach organization. Since graduating, I have done various freelance landscape designs for residential clients, as well as gained experience in retail horticulture, public gardening, and volunteer gardening.
