a Professional Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from the University of
Notre Dame. She took a job with Torti Gallas and Partners in Silver
Spring, Maryland and worked on a variety of architectural projects
ranging from high rise mixed-use buildings, low rise apartment
buildings, and other transit oriented developments around the
