My current role allows me the opportunity to mentor younger staff to assist them in their achievement of their professional goals all while being a part of the leadership and future trajectory of the firm. With over eighteen years of experience in architecture, I manage all of our firm’s healthcare portfolio as the Director of Healthcare Design. With a deep knowledge of the PA Department of Health standards, I have a strong focus on healthcare design both inpatient and outpatient. From interior design, to master planning studies, to construction administration, there is little I have not done while at MKSD. Other specialties include: higher Ed/K-12 master planning/design, commercial renovations, additions & interior design of all kinds, LEED design/documentation, furniture design/planning/procurement, and project managementI hold accreditation as a licensed Architect in the State of Pennsylvania and as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Accredited Professional with specialty in Building Design + Construction by the U.S. Green Building Council. I am also a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).Outside of Architecture, I find joy in spending time with my two daughters and my best friend/husband. We love the outdoors and spend a lot of our time hiking, camping, biking, or relaxing in the backyard together. And I have a passion for gardening which allows me a release while integrating my love of design into nature!
