Graduated simultaneously with an Associate's Degree through dual enrollment at Washtenaw Community College — completing both programs concurrently as an Honors student.
A public outdoor pavilion organized around a recirculating waterfall and wishing well in a closed-loop system. The 56′ × 48′ site spans two elevation zones separated by a terraced grade change that simultaneously resolves accessibility, spatial hierarchy, and waterfall drop height. Three gathering zones and two covered pergolas with sloped roofs are organized through Kevin Lynch’s five-element framework. Built at ¼″ = 1′ scale from 1.5mm basswood. Presented at the 46th Annual Undergraduate Symposium, March 2026.
