Her design work has been in the private, non-profit and governmental sectors as well as the academic, with focus on plants, designing with plants and how they perform in the environments in which they are planted, with emphasis on stormwater management. She has degrees in American History/ Architectural History (BA, Penn) Regional Planning (MRP, Penn State) and Landscape Architecture (MLA, UGA), is the manager of the Montgomery County RainScapes Program of the Department of Environmental Protection and has been gardening since she first planted tulips and zinnias with her father at age 5.
