With a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture, I seek the balance between public safety / welfare with natural systems.  I am currently working to preserve and enhance wetland resources and to develop restoration plans for areas in South Louisiana with degraded wetland habitat. 

Three projects, in particular, involved scoping complex wetland resource problems and recommending approaches to their resolution while incorporating new techniques and methods, as appropriate.  They are 1) White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area Visitor and Education Facilities Master Plan, 2) Bayou Bienvenue Central Wetland Unit: Wetland Restoration and Hazard Mitigation Proposal, and 3) River Diversions: an important Tool in the Coastal Restoration Toolbox.  All three of these reports required the ability to perform wetland investigations and assessments including the collection, analysis, and interpretation of wetland hydrology, soil, and vegetation data necessary to develop wetland restoration and mitigation plans.  Each report was done with dirction from Bruce Sharky, FASLA.
