How do you feel you play a role in advocating for South Carolina architects?
As an AIA Columbia board member, I feel my role is to serve our members in any way I can. That entails listening to grievances, volunteering my time to organize events, and using my experience and knowledge base to improve the quality of benefits AIA members in our area receive.
What is your favorite part of serving on the Board of Directors?
It’s always fun to be “in the know” on all things AIA. Being on the board allows me to keep track of cool events on the local, state, and national level.
What future endeavors do you see for AIASC?
AIASC has a lot going for it. We have 3 fairly large sections that each anchor the upstate, midlands, and low country while providing top-notch member benefits. We are just beginning to see the potential of what collaboration can do to strengthen each of our programming efforts to capitalize on things already happening in our state.

What saying do you live by? Why?
“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well.”– Diane Ackerman
” For me, this means don’t be so guarded or scared of disappointment and regret that life passes you by. Figure out what a full life means to you – for me, that’s inviting people in, being vulnerable and seeking out new experiences. Since adopting this outlook, I’ve done things like start the Culturettes, get on stage at The Moth story slam, accepted on offer to join the AIA Columbia Board when a colleague called me (thanks, Robyn Rogers!) and stepped forward to be the first Equity in Architecture chair for the state. “
What saying do you live by? Why?
“Bloom where you are planted”(1 Corinthians 7:20-24)
“Sometimes life hands you the unexpected, and though it may feel tough or unfair in the moment, I am a believer that if you try your hardest to stay optimistic, enthusiastic, keep a smile on your face and truly try to take advantage of every opportunity, you will one day understand that though it may not have been your plan, it was the best plan for you!”
