My interest in the A+D field was sparked by my childhood visits to my fathers' work. While wandering down the halls of the architecture firm, I would be captivated by the sketches, materials, and renderings pinned to the walls. Outside of this early exposure, I found joy in discovering new ways to arrange my bedroom. The best part of this challenge was knowing that the power to create a new experience was in my hands. Architecture and design creates a new environment and experience for everyone that enters. I am thrilled to play a part in this process as a Project Assistant at Wilkus.

Most of my time outside of work is spent outdoors. Whether I am on a walk, fishing, hunting, or paddleboarding I enjoy stepping out into fresh air and sunshine when possible. Many of my weekends are spent treasure hunting at a thrift store followed by an exploration of unique restaurants and coffee shops. I am drawn to historic structures and items that have been repurposed and brought to new life. This combination brings character and charm into modern society.
