I received two professional degrees in the fields of design, planning, and architecture.Undergraduate: Bachelor of Science, Landscape Architecture at West Virginia University. I went on toget my Master of Architecture at Clemson University.
The WVU landscape architecture program revolved around science. It was engineering-heavy and very technical. The design was practical and functional.
During my undergraduate degree, I worked as an intern at West Virginia University's "Facilities Planning" department. There I worked with architects and landscape architects.
Upon graduation, I moved to Clemson SC to pursue a master's in architecture. This school was more design-heavy and theoretical. I thought this would complement my practical and math-heavy background.
During my studies in graduate school, I got to live, work, and study in Charleston SC for a year. There I received a design-build certificate (designing and building a pavilion for a Montessori school). This certificate allows students to design and build something for the community of Charleston, SC.
Lastly, MOHO was a great benefit to my career. The organization was always extremely kind, and supportive. They were a big support for my career and my confidence as a young adult. Being recognized as a recipient of the MOHO scholarship when I was graduating high school assisted with tuition, books, and more along with giving me confidence I can achieve things upon graduating from high school.
