About me INSIDE
Personal information
I am currently a fourth year Urban Planning studentat the University of Cincinnati’s school of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. I love landscapes/landscaping, horticulture, mapping, design, music, and animals. I am looking to gain experience at several different types of planning agencies as there are various aspects of the field that pique my interest. I try to be as punctual as possible in all areas of my life and I am a dedicated worker.
I love architecture and buildings, and I am very interested in learning about developing landscapes/cityscapes in various climates and altitudes. I enjoy interacting with the public and doing field work for projects or databases. I make subtle attempts at pursuing photography, though most of the pictures I take are of landscapes, architecture, or abandoned places. I am very interested in neighborhood and community development, and I am interested in becoming more involved within my own community here in Cincinnati.

This section is a compilation of work done in computer rendering/graphics programs. Programs used include Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Google SketchUp, and GIS.
I enjoy using GIS to make or enhance maps and projections and can navigate the interface well. I prefer SketchUp to AutoCAD only because I have not taken the AutoCAD class yet,
however I consider myself proficient in SketchUp. I am willing to acclamate to any kind of new software with a little bit of time and advice (when I need it).
