2016 graduate of the BLA program

“The BLA program at UGA is a very special place with great faculty and staff who want nothing more than to see their alumni impact our world. I am a young professional and the education from CED has been the foundation of my career. I see and use the information from my education on a daily basis. An education from CED will take you places you’ve never dreamed. Whether you’re studying abroad, going on field sessions, or moving to work in Seattle – the CED exposes you to many strong professional contacts early on in your time there. Be sure to take advantage of every opportunity given — there are many.”

Bio
Originally from the grand town of Royston, GA, I moved to Seattle, WA a week after graduation, and starting working at GGN two weeks later. My first exposure to GGN came from a CED field study trip to Seattle during my sophomore year in the BLA program. I found my way to the college and the profession from watching the documentary “No Impact Man”, which led me to reevaluate my lifestyle and reduce my carbon footprint. I’ve always had a passion for design, but with the newfound interest in the environment, Landscape Architecture was an easy decision.  So far at GGN, I’ve had many amazing opportunities to work on projects both nationally and internationally, and I am proud to be learning more and more with each day.
