Landscape Architecture
Class of 2020
Smithsburg, Maryland  

What book would you recommend and why?

The count of Monte Cristo. I believe that it is a phenomenal piece of historical fiction. Not only is it an amazing, engaging story; but great cultural as well.

What is your favorite quote?

"They say honesty is the best policy and I think you regret telling the truth less often than you regret telling lies." - Ralph Moody

What do you love most about your major? And, how will it help you reach your career goals?

I love working with outdoor spaces and having an opportunity to make someone's world better. It will first help me get into the United States Air Force as a second Lieutenant then after that it will help me start a landscape architecture firm.

What are some of your favorite classes?

My favorite classes have been anything art or designed based. Any time I have an excuse to draw or design or create something - and get to count that as work - it's a good day

What are your hobbies?

I love to bike, hike, snowboard, swim or run.
