Black. Woman. Architect. Sustainable. Preservationist.

These are the lenses through which I navigate the world. Simple words that describe me that I’m still learning how to juggle.

I see myself as a connector between allied worlds. For example:

• I’m the black friend my white friends feel comfortable talking with about race.

• The preservationist who can help architects navigate historic approvals.

• The architect who can help preservationists think of sustainability.

I’m on numerous boards and try to blend my various passions since it’s all connected.

Smartsheet for Architects

When I ran a small architecture firm I LOVED using Smartsheet to manage the business! So much so that I created an online course to help other architects use it too.

Board work:

BAF encourages people to explore Baltimore’s architectural history and future through tours, lectures, educational programs for adults and kids, exhibitions, research, and publications.

Podcast: Tangible Remnants

A space where I explore the interconnectedness of Architecture, Sustainability, Historic Preservation, Race & Gender.
