My CED background informs my approach to landscape architecture through systems thinking, community impact, and long-term value. My MBA bolstered my understanding of how public projects are planned, funded, and delivered, which I apply to parks, trails, and public-realm design. |
I founded Scrupulous Contracting, delivering residential construction projects. This experience strengthened my understanding of construction sequencing, materials, site coordination, and buildability, informing my approach to clear documentation and practical landscape design. |
My career goal is to work within a municipality, consulting firm, or interdisciplinary team contributing to the planning and design of parks, trails, and public-realm projects through systems-based, buildable solutions that enhance community well-being. |
Question and Answers
What skills do you feel are important to have as a Student - LAT?
Strong technical documentation skills are essential, including clear drafting standards, file organization, and the ability to translate design intent into buildable drawings. Equally important are organizational and time-management skills to handle multiple projects, deadlines, and collaborative workflows. Effective communication—both visual and verbal—is critical for coordinating with instructors, peers, and allied disciplines. A solid understanding of constructability, materials, and maintenance considerations supports realistic design decisions. Finally, adaptability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn from feedback are key to developing competence and confidence in professional practice.
What are you passionate about as a Student - LAT?
As a Landscape Architecture Technology student, I am focused on human-centred landscape design that supports mental health, inclusion, and everyday well-being within Alberta’s public realm. I am particularly interested in parks, streetscapes, and civic spaces where clear documentation, constructable details, and coordination with allied disciplines translate design intent into buildable outcomes. My interests include urban repair, incremental improvements to existing landscapes, and projects that respond to social context, climate, and long-term maintenance realities. I approach landscape architecture as a form of practical advocacy—using legible, resilient, and well-considered design to improve daily life and contribute to healthier, more equitable communities.
Describe something that you have found challenging as a Student - LAT?. How did you overcome this?
One of the most challenging aspects of my experience as a Landscape Architecture Technology student has been managing complex workloads that require both technical precision and contextual understanding across multiple concurrent projects. Balancing detailed documentation, design development, and group collaboration required me to refine my organizational systems and working process. I addressed this by breaking large deliverables into clear, manageable tasks, improving my drawing standards and file organization, and communicating early with instructors and peers to clarify scope and expectations. Over time, this approach strengthened my efficiency, confidence, and ability to produce clear, buildable work under realistic project timelines.
What advice would you give a new Student - LAT?
Stay curious about real-world practice: observe built work, learn from feedback, and remember that competence and confidence develop through consistent effort and experience.
What are your future goals?
As a Landscape Architecture Technology student, I am focused on creating inclusive, safe, and healthy public spaces that support community well-being and everyday use. I am particularly interested in parks, trails, and outdoor recreation environments where thoughtful, buildable design can strengthen connections to nature while supporting accessibility, mental health, and active lifestyles. I am passionate about environmental stewardship and nature-based solutions, and I value clear documentation, practical detailing, and long-term maintenance considerations to ensure projects are resilient and functional over time. I am currently seeking a summer cooperative placement where I can apply my technical skills, contribute to public-realm projects in the Capital region, and continue building experience in professional landscape architecture practice.
