I have served as a faculty member in the Interior Architecture program since the Fall 2001 semester. I hold a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Interior Design from Purdue University, a Graduate Certificate in Homeland Security and Emergency Management from Indiana University, and a Master of Science in Public Safety from Indiana University. My professional design experience encompasses commercial projects with an emphasis on project management for office, educational, and healthcare environments. My areas of specialization include life-safety considerations in commercial structures and the integration of service-learning partnerships to support experiential education in the classroom.
