>> I went to school at Penn State, the School of Landscape Architect--
the School of Arts and Architecture, the Department of Landscape Architecture.
And the program that I was part of was the Bachelor in Landscape Architecture Program,
a five-year program, which is among the elite in the country,
and I think for the last several years it's been like in the top three or five,
and it's absolutely an incredible teaching staff and faculty as well as facilities
and opportunities that are there.
And my experience moving to the professional world was one of just good timing;
having the Penn State connections to be able to work off of.
I was fortunate to land a job with a very good design firm.
A very good top firm within the professional landscape architecture through the assistance
of getting interviews from faculty that had connections,
as well as just really putting myself out there and displaying my work
and my experiences as well as I could.
