I was fortunate to work on a number of projects on the campus of Wellesley College. Most notably, I became heavily involved in the Alumnae Valley Landscape Renewal, wherein I created hand drawings and renderings, models, computer generated renderings, and AutoCAD construction drawings. Unfortunately, I did not remain at MVVA, Inc., long enough to participate in the construction of the project and see it through to completion.
