Student Work

Program Overview

Temple University's Landscape Architecture program puts a heavier emphasis on ecological restoration than most. Studio classes were typically paired with a related ecology class (i.e. wetlands, woodlands, urban ecology) which allowed for total immersion into a given ecosystem each semester. These building block studios culminated Capstone Design, where I blended a variety of passions into a post-industrial recreational and ecological haven along the Delaware River, pairing massive tidal wetland and upland restorations with a golf course, dry ski slope/hiking mound, and vast trail system.

Awards, Honors, Organizations, and Internships

During my time at Temple, I participated in several organizations and received several honors and awards.

  • ASLA and SER Chapter member and Director of Communications

  • PA-DE ASLA Honor Award

  • Peter G. Schlotterer Ecological Scholarship Award Winner

In addition to the above extra-curricular activities I also took part in several internships while pursuing my masters. These internships allowed for the real-world application of the graphic, site analysis, and design skills learned in graduate school, while simultaneously teaching lessons about the industry. These internship experiences included:

  • Spiezle Architecture Group

  • Langan Engineering

  • Philadelphia Water Department
