- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech, where I studied design, structural engineering, environmental building systems, urban planning, and more. I've completed internships with four architecture firms and am licensed in Florida and Virginia. To stay current, I regularly take courses focused on Health, Safety, and Welfare—including Advanced Building Code—as well as ongoing training on sustainable design, new products, and best practices. I also attend industry seminars and conferences to keep up with the latest green building techniques.
