EXISTING PRESERVED LAND VISION PLAN: WILDLIFE
CORRIDOR
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ
GREAT SWAMP WATERSHED
WILDLIFE CORRIDOR
A semester-long project
focusing on watershed
management and vision
planning.
These maps are part of an
intense GIS-based inventory
and analysis of the biological
and ecological components
of the Great Swamp
Watershed. Under my
leadership, my team sought
to conserve the natural
resources of the watershed by
creating a greenway spanning
the region. Such action
would allow for the
proliferation of wildlife and
plant species, which would
maintain ecosystem services
and provide future
generations with an
abundance of nature to
experience and appreciate.
Our analysis of existing
preserved land, paired with
information gleaned from a
class-wide developmental
suitability analysis allowed us
to create our vision plan.
After studying individual
parcels and deciding where
to purchase development
rights, we drafted our wildlife
corridor. The system of
interconnected open space
would extend into the
watersheds context--linking
to the Black River Wildlife
Management Area to the
Northwest and the South
Mountain Reserve to the
Southeast.

BIO-INSPIRED PAVILION
LIBERTY SCIENCE CENTER
JERSEY CITY, NJ
This project was part of a
construction studio at
Rutgers University focused on
detailed technical drawings.
The aim for each student was
to design an educational
pavilion space for children
and adults alike.
My goal was to present
visitors to the Liberty Science
Center with new ideas,
instilling in them an
appreciation of lesser
understood biological
systems. I used the form and
function of mycorrhiza to
design interesting and
educational spaces.
T h r e e - d i m e n s i o n a l
parametric modeling software
was used to model the
branching patterns of
mycorrhiza. The resulting
grid is constructed of
permeable concrete and
graded to promote water ow
throughout the structure,
much like mycorrhiza
transports water and nutrients
through its tendrils and into
plant roots.
The projects strength lies in
its ability to visualize an
underground system few are
familiar with. This creates in
visitors the desire to learn
more about the earth and its
intricate complexities, which
represents a new creative
frontier.

EXPERIMENTAL PLAY
TRENTON, NJ
This project was a
semester-long study of
Trenton, with the goal of
creating spaces that would
revitalize the city. Through
inventory, analysis, and eld
studies, I identied the lack of
natural park space
throughout the city as one of
the principal contributors to
its degradation. Parks have
the potential to create a sense
of community--pride in ones
hometown--that is essential
to any citys well-being.
Successful parks often
showcase local features, and
this was key to my location
selection.
One of my designs for this
project focused on a portion
of the Assunpink Creek
adjacent to an abandoned
housing project. I designed
an interactive reclaimed log
trail winding through a
successional meadow and
across the creek, introducing
children to natural concepts
in an intensely urbanized
area. The log trail would
promote creative play,
encouraging children to work
to understand their
environment. The native
meadow is planted to
remediate the compacted,
nutrient-decient soils of the
site, in hopes of limiting the
pollution of the Assunpink
Creek, which ows directly
into the Delaware River.

The native wildlife meadow is
placed to reduce erosion and filter
rainwater and runoff from adjacent
pastures. Currently, water washes
quickly down a swale through the
field, carrying manure into a
nearby wetland. This concentrated
manure can cause environmental
issues such as eutrophication. By
planting a native wet meadow, the
plants will slow the water and
greatly reduce the amount of
nitrogen reaching the wetland.
We also intend to reduce runoff
from the roof of the cow shed by
channeling water into a cistern.
This cistern will function
educationally, allowing children to
pump the water out and watch it
flow through the programmed
movable fences.
Our design uses the geometry of
a common agricultural boundary
to both foster creativity and make
space for people and wildlife. This
design creates an educational
environment with a true ecological
purpose.

BIOFILTRATION FIELD
CHERRY GROVE FARM
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ
My nal project in the
Landscape Architecture
Program at Rutgers
University focused on the
design of an educational
trailhead at Cherry Grove
Farm in Lawrenceville, NJ.
The main focus of my teams
design was the creation of a
native biolltration meadow.
The meadow was placed to
reduce erosion and lter
rainwater and runoff from
adjacent pastures. The
current state saw water
washing quickly down a
makeshift swale, carrying
manure into a native wetland,
where the pond had
undergone eutrophication.
By planting a native wet
meadow, the plants would
slow the runoff, ltering out
excess nutrients before it
reached the wetland.
The species composing this
planting plan were selected
specically for their abilities
to lter nutrients and
replenish soil. All selected
plants are also able to be
used as feed for the cattle
when it is time for fall
cutbacks. The spreadsheet
highlights some of the main
characteristics taken into
consideration during species
selection.

greatly reduce the amount of
nitrogen reaching the wetland.
We also intend to reduce runoff
from the roof of the cow shed by
channeling water into a cistern.
This cistern will function
educationally, allowing children to
pump the water out and watch it
flow through the programmed
movable fences.
Our design uses the geometry of
a common agricultural boundary
to both foster creativity and make
space for people and wildlife. This
design creates an educational
environment with a true ecological
purpose.

The native wildlife meadow is
placed to reduce erosion and filter
rainwater and runoff from adjacent
pastures. Currently, water washes
quickly down a swale through the
field, carrying manure into a
nearby wetland. This concentrated
manure can cause environmental
issues such as eutrophication. By
planting a native wet meadow, the
plants will slow the water and
greatly reduce the amount of

MEMORIAL GATEWAY KIOSK
RUTGERS UNIVERSITY
In the Spring of 2012, I was
asked by the family of the late
Charlie Kontos Jr., a wildlife
biologist and photographer, to
design a memorial kiosk and
trail system at the Rutgers
University Eco-Preserve. I
have worked closely with the
family, Rutgers facilities, and
professors on this project,
which will become the new
gateway to the Preserve.
Instead of walking up to the
kiosk, one walks through it.
The horizontal slats,
constructed of locally
harvested black locust lumber,
act as a bird blind for the
native meadow surrounding
the kiosk.
Kontos was an avid
environmental educator, and
his memorial needs to reect
this. I designed four colored
plexiglass windows allowing
visitors to explore the
properties of light, as well as
the vision-related biological
concepts.
The kiosk seeks to become
part of its context--a
beckoning visitors from the
Livingston Campus boulevard
to explore the Ecological
Preserve.
This project is nearing
completion, with installation
scheduled for early Summer
2014.

RESEARCH ASSI STANT
HERPETOLOGY
I have earned co-authorship
in a herpetological
dissertation under doctoral
candidate Jeremy Feinberg.
The report, nally in the
submission process,
concerns the discovery,
genetic differentiation, and
taxonomy of a new species of
leopard frog in the New York
City area. I conducted much
of Feinbergs eld research,
including habitat
assessment, population
studies, environmental
monitoring, and holotype
collection. My
responsibilities required
strong native plant
identication skills, as well
as a rm understanding of
biological and ecological
principles.
When the news of the
discovery rst broke in March
of 2012, my photograph of
the holotype was published
worldwide on various major
news sources and blogs.
