Tell us what you’re excited to bring to the AIAS?
I am excited to bring 100% to this organization! My team is incredible. Their energy and enthusiasm for the work we do is so motivating. It’s exciting just bringing myself to work each day.
What inspires you about the architecture profession and architecture students in particular?
Architects are the perfect blend of creativity and technical skill personified. Sure, I can imagine the world as a better place, but they can create a better world using their imagination. Taking a simple thought and turning it into something physical that I can walk into is quite literally awe inspiring.
Please tell us about yourself? What are your hobbies? Any favorite books, etc.?
I have declared this year the year of hobbies! I can find joy in most things, but I want to become invested in something that I participate in regularly. So, my hobby is finding a hobby!
What are your top priorities for your new position?
My top priorities are to create a content calendar and production schedule that allow us to finish content months ahead of its publishing date!
What is the “big picture” impact that you would like to have on the AIAS?
My ultimate goal is to create a close knit online community that interacts across all platforms and offline seamlessly.
Please elaborate on any activities you are involved in outside of work (volunteer, committee work, etc.).
I donβt participate in much outside of work, but I definitely plan to add more to my schedule. I love love loveee to dance and am looking for a class to visit 1-2 times weekly. You’re welcome to join me! π
