Me?

You want to know more about what I do?

I am the creator and host of The Landscape Nerd Podcast, a platform dedicated to exploring the world of landscape architecture through an inclusive and trailblazing lens.

Nerd has never been a bad word to me. Being a nerd is being brave enough to show that you care enthusiastically about something (despite what others think). I'm proud to be a nerd.

With a passion for storytelling and education, I dive into the intersections of design, culture, and community, while amplifying underrepresented voices in the field. Through engaging conversations and insightful discussions, I'm trying to make landscape architecture more accessible and inspiring.

Nerdy Mom. Clevelander.

A little more about me. I am autistic and I have an awesome little neurodivergent family. My world looks different from most but I like it.

I love to hike- until I cannot anymore. Then, I love to talk- and when I cannot do that anymore, I read. After that, I dance.

I am currently in yoga teacher training.

I do aerial acrobatics for fun.

I write poetry daily.

I make textile art in semi-secrecy.

I dream of running a tea house and garden to nerd out all day in.

Nachos are my favorite food because they symbolize how incredible things are when they are meant to be shared.

I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and I am happy to work as a project manager for a local non-profit public art and placemaking organization in a place I call home.
