I believe I would be a good fit for the role because of my personal background and work experience in the Keys. After moving to the Keys in 2013, 1 worked for D'Asign Source for four years, initially as an intern and shortly thereafter as a licensed architect. To gain more experience in the commercial sector, I transitioned to K2M Design as a licensed architect for another four years. During my time with these firms, I gained enough experience to start my own architectural design firm, Sandbar Design Studio,which has been an active business in the Florida Keys for a little over three years. As an architect, I have worked on many historic preservation projects, most of which have gone through the Historic Architectural Review Commission in Key West and were subsequently completed. Designing in this environment has generated a respect and sensitivity to the history of Monroe County as a whole. I believe the fabric of our community lies not just in our new construction, but also in our historic homes and buildings. The protection of historic structures maintains the heritage and beauty of the Keys. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my son, Carter, and our dog, Fred, at our home on Big Pine Key or out in our active community. We enjoy being able to spend time on the water and explore all that Monroe County has to offer us. It would be a great pleasure to be involved with a board that shares this passion of mine, and I hope to be considered for any open position.
