As part of the Treanor team, she is interested in architecture appropriate to place and population, where building form and function aren’t mutually exclusive.

What is your favorite quote?
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman
What is your favorite part of your job?
The process of finding solutions to difficult problems.
What is your advice to young professionals in your field?
My biggest piece of advice is to spend your internships working in construction. Work on as many projects from concept to occupancy as you can. While architecture school was a great place to explore various design concepts, having an internship in construction gave me a more tangible level of understanding in structures, systems, and processes that was extremely beneficial to my work post-grad.
