My passion for life-long learning drives my commitment to both personal growth and fostering the development of others. As a Professor of Practice, I thrive on sharing my knowledge and expertise with students, guiding them to understand the impact of architecture, urban design, and planning on people’s lives and the built environment. My past experience as Director of Strategic Initiatives & Community Development and Project Manager has further deepened my passion for helping others succeed, offering guidance to enable them to explore their potential. Volunteering and serving as a mentor reinforces my belief in the power of collaborative education. Ultimately, my role as an educator is to teach methods for improving the well-being of others through thoughtful design and community-minded planning, creating spaces that are more than functional but also supportive, sustainable, and transformative.

I actively contribute my experience to diverse multi-disciplinary project teams, collaborating on a wide array of project types from coast to coast. I have held an Architect license (NCARB) and Community Planner certification (AICP) since 2016. In 2022, I opened my own private practice, CRIT Workshop LLC. It’s a certified WBE and WOSB firm with clients all across the country. Working independently has given me the freedom to pursue passion projects, teach at the collegiate level, and nurture beautiful relationships within the community! www.critworkshop.com
