    No full text
    As an architectural intern at El Terreno in Guaranda, Ecuador, I increased my understanding of traditional Andean architecture through hands-on work with adobe, developing community-based design solutions, and individual exploration into indigenous architectural methods. My projects used design to support sustainable tourism and income generation in Atandahua, Guaranda. I applied and expanded technical skills in SketchUp, AutoCAD, and Adobe Suite, while also learning the importance of interpersonal relationships in community design. Through interviews, site visits, and collaborative planning, our team developed renovation and new-build proposals that maintained local identity while inviting international engagement from tourists. This experience affirmed my commitment to socially responsible and sustainable architecture. It also sharpened my communication, documentation, and cultural adaptation skills, preparing me to work across global contexts and communities

    Sprout Garden Community Agriculture Internship

    No full text
    This summer, I worked with the Sprout Garden and Farm here at Connecticut College. Sprout is a community garden that began as a few simple beds near Earth House in 2004, and has since grown into a farm about the size of an acre. It is almost completely student run and provides food for not only the Connecticut College community, but also the greater New London area. Working with the food sovereignty organization, F.R.E.S.H. New London, we provide hundreds of pounds of fresh food to the community. Sprout Garden is not only an organization dedicated to teaching students about the process of tending to and harvesting plants, but also one that promotes food justice in a place severely lacking in fresh, nutritious, and affordable food. Additionally, Sprout takes great care in making the space welcoming for any visitors
