A bit about me
My architectural education has been driven by a strong interest in urban design, community-centred architecture, and the historical narratives embedded within the built environment.
In addition to my academic work, my professional and life experiences have shaped my architectural approach. In partnership with my husband, we have owned and grown Harvard Homes – a successful boutique residential construction business.
With a background in policing, I have developed a deep appreciation for how design influences human behaviours. I am eager to continue learning, questioning boundaries, and contributing meaningful design solutions that support resilient communities, adaptive design strategies and the creation of safe and inclusive spaces across both public and private realms.
