Got involved in Wikipedia in 2015 when I wanted to include more information on the history of architecture and related topics and how it has affected culture.
My Background
I am an Architect, artist and writer. The daughter of an architect/engineer with a Bachelor of Architecture from Louisiana Tech University and a Bachelor of Interior Architecture from Kansas State University graduating Suma Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude respectively. My thesis was on "Built Form and Culture", and part was published as a Poster Summary in E.J. Peltenburg's book "Early Society in Cyprus" entitled "Correlation model for analyzing prehistoric Cypriot culture"[1] .
While working as an architect I researched and authored the book "Houseboats: Aquatic Architecture of Sausalito" [2] .
My Contributions
Began contributing to articles on Carnegie funded library buildings in the Mid-West where information crediting the architects and/or interior architects was lacking or only one source had been used to write the original article.
