PERSONAL STATEMENT

Many architects would describe our profession as a passion. Architecture is for me something much more powerful — it gives me purpose and definition. In the early days of my career, I was drawn to the idea that design had immense power to improve the lives of people, from building occupants to community members. Through time, personal experience and professional growth, that idea has become the core philosophy that drives me as an architect.

Whether breaking barriers or mentoring our next generation of female leaders; building a school library in Africa or converting an old high school into affordable senior housing; creating design that fosters community or cracking the code on how design can mitigate the effects of Alzheimer’s — the purpose I’ve defined within our profession is clear. My trajectory as a young architect has been immensely gratifying, but the challenge clearly lies ahead as I focus on continued forward motion, both for myself and others who are uplifted by architecture, practiced with purpose.

02 Selected Projects

My portfolio of work exemplifies both my depth of experience and agile approach to a wide range of project types. Not only have I cultivated extensive expertise in senior living design, having designed over 30 senior living projects with more than 2000 units of housing for older adults, I bring that same of rigorous design inquiry to affordable family housing, historic preservation, and community services for youth and persons with disabilities.

Embrace Living - Grove and Oasis Buildings Chicagoland, IL - In Progress Moderate rehab of 7 existing, affordable senior apart- ment buildings, with a total of 547 apartments and asso- ciated resident common areas. Buildings are spread out amongst 3 different municipalities and will be financed via Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Renovations will include much needed expansion of resident amenity spaces and accessibility upgrades throughout the units. Role: Partner-in-Charge

Tiger Senior Apartments, Paris, IL - In Progress See detailed project description in following pages. Role: Project Manager and Partner-in-Charge

Fairview Senior Apartments, Normal, IL - In Progress Apative reuse and historic preservation of an existing, 1919 era TB sanitarium to create affordable senior apartments. Role: Partner-in-Charge

Decatur Memory Care Addition, Decatur, IL - In Progress 20 unit expansion to an existing affordable, memory care supportive living community. I also designed the original building in 2012. This project will expand much needed access to affordable care for seniors suffering from de- mentia. Role: Partner-in-Charge

Martin Avenue Apartments, Napervile, IL - In Progress See detailed project description in following pages. Role: Project Manager and Partner-in-Charge

Ladd Senior Apartments, Ladd, IL - In Progress New construction of 40 apartment units for low-income seniors financed via LIHTC. Development will enable long-term community members to stay in the area and maintain crucial social connections. Role: Partner-in-Charge

Newton Apartments, Newton, IA - In Progress New construction of 46, apartments for families on an existing infill site via LIHTC financing. This project serves to fill a large gap in available workforce housing. Role: Partner-in-Charge

03 Selected Projects

Caledonia Senior Living, Riverside, IL - In Progress Renovation of an existing senior living sheltered care fa- cility in order to breathe new life into the hisoric structure and enhance resident health and well-being. Role: Partner-in-Charge

UPC Seguin - Wheaton Day Center, Wheaton, IL - 2020 Adaptive reuse of an existing building, converting it into a day program for adults with developmental dis- abilities. This project will bring much needed community integrated services and job training to young adults living with disabilities, allowing them to live meaningful lives while continuing to live in their community. Role: Project Manager and Partner-in-Charge

Grandbrier of Bloomingdale, Bloomingdale, IL - 2019 New construction of a three-story assisted living and memory care community with a total of 102 residential units. The project includes some unique common spaces that are open to the larger community. Role: Project Manager for Design Development phase

Travanse Senior Living Grayslake, Grayslake, IL - 2017 New construction of a three-story assisted living mem- ory care community with 96 resident units. The design incorporates state of the art wellness features such as color tuneable LED lighting for maintenance of circadian rhythm. Role: Project Manager

St. Clara’s Rehab & Senior Care, Lincoln, IL - 2017 See detailed project description in following pages. Role: Project Manager

Memory Care Supportive Living Submissions Sites throughout Illinois - 2016 Led our internal team on the design of 18 submissions for new construction, memory care supportive living facilities across Illinois. 15 of 18 were approved in 2019 and are now moving into design phase. See detailed project descrip- tion in following pages. Role: Project Manger

Evergreen Place of Orland Park, Orland Park, IL - 2016 See detailed project description in following pages. Role: Project Manager

Journey Senior Living at Rock Creek, Ankeny, IA - 2016 New Construction of a two-story assisted living and mem- ory care community with 85 resident units. This project is located on an infill site within a residential neighborhood and strives to blend into its residential surroundings. Role: Project Architect and Project Manager

04 Selected Projects

Evergreen Place of Chillicothe, Chillicothe, IL - 2015 New construction of a two-story assisted living memory care community with 75 resident units. This project was the first to re-think the approach to resident common areas. Rather than following the tried and true method of large, centralized common areas, it instead includes dispersed common areas, with new program elements, appealing to the larger community. The design welcomes the public in, creating opportunities for new connections. Role: Project Architect

Marillac Social Center, Chicago, IL - 2014 Adaptive re-use of an existing two-story building, convert- ing it into a family and youth center. The project also in- cluded a one-story addition housing a new full-size basket- ball court. That had been a long time dream of Marillac as they had been forced to sell a previous gym years ago. Role: Project Manager and Project Architect

The Jackson Renaissance, Davenport, IA - 2013 Adaptive reuse of the existing, historic four-story Jackson School Building into 24 affordable apartments for seniors, and construciton of a three-story addition with 24 apart- ments. This project also underwent a full historic tax credit restoration process and included LIHTC financing. Role: Project Architect Heritage Manor, Bloomington, IL - 2012 Renovation and addition to an existing skilled nursing facility including the addition of a physical therapy center for inpatient use. The project also includes a bonus indoor winter garden space. Turning a need for a corridor link into an opportunity to enhance the design, I suggested they expand the corridor to make a glazed winter garden space. This has now become a favorite feature of resi- dents and staff alike and provides much needed exposure to plants and sunlight on a tight urban site. Role: Project Architect

Evergreen Place of Decatur, Decatur, IL - 2012 New construction of a three-story, affordable support- ive living facility with 93 units. The project also includes a one-story, 20-unit memory care component that was one of the first of its kind in Illinois. It was designed as part of a pilot program run by the State to evaluate this new type of specialized care setting. The program was immensely successful and a second round is currently underway. Role: Project Architect

Country Health Skilled Nursing Facility, Gifford, IL - 2012 Renovation and expansion of an existing 89-bed skilled nursing facility to create a state of the art skilled nursing building while also being respectful of the existing legacy. Role: Project Architect

This third project had the added chal- lenge of being part of a larger, mixed-use campus. With an eye to forward-leaning flexibility, we designed the AL/MC com- munity to allow for future development of complementary, healthcare-oriented programs. Building on lessons learned and real world observation, this phase of the project represents the next step in truly responsive, informed architecture that improves the lives of end users.

Situated in the city center, the location offered walkability to downtown businesses and the public library.

That kind of continuity within the community was appealing, though the project also came with extreme challenges: accessibility, energy effi- ciency and designing units to fit within the building’s unique footprint.
