Hello! It was an honor to be selected for a 2014 Emerging Professional Conference Scholarships to the AIA Academy of Architecture for Justice (AAJ) conference on November 5-8. As an Emerging Professional and Associate member with California’s Central Valley local chapter of the AIA, I hope to develop my knowledge on architecture for social justice and carry it into my career as a Project Coordinator with Nacht & Lewis. This week will surely fly by and before we know it we’ll be gathering in St. Louis for the fall conference. I look forward to meeting all of those involved in justice facilities including architects, owners, administrators and contractors.
