As a Landscape Architect and Ecologist, Emily's experience on complex projects allow her to be a valuable asset for teams who are collaborating to create responsive, authentic, and inspiring places. Her professional practice and research interests are focused on projects which seek to blur the line between infrastructure and landscape to provide immersive, equitable and inspiring places for all. In the studio and the classroom, Emily leads conversations within the design community on maximizing landscape performance to perform social and environmental services, fostering an evidence-based design process and practice culture, utilizing design and planning as community building tool, embedding experiential learning opportunities in the built environment, and utilizing geospatial design and technology to narrate stories of people and places. Throughout her career she has worked on a wide range of projects across the world ranging in scale from small pocket parks to city-scale planning on award-winning projects such as the US Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, DC; Shield Ranch, Austin, Texas; The Living Building at Georgia Tech; and Shoemaker Green, Philadelphia, PA.
Her joy and passion for working with teams and communities to create high-performance landscapes are reflected in her roles as a Landscape Architecture Foundation Education Committee member, Pennsylvania State University Stuckeman School Board member, and as an Awesome Raleigh Foundation trustee. Emily is also a part-time Associate Professor at NC State University, where she teaches courses on Reflective Design Culture, Landscape Performance, and GIS Applications for Landscape Architects. She recently completed the LATIS publication, A Landscape Performance + Metrics Primer for Landscape Architects, and received national ASLA research and planning awards for her work at Shoemaker Green, for the US GSA Site Commissioning White Paper, and for the Shield Ranch Master Plan.
Emily holds a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from NC State University, ESRI GIS certificates, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology from Appalachian State University.
