#gophers
Hi! Great news. I was accepted into the University of Minnesota’s landscape architecture master’s program and will be pursuing a concentration in sustainable community development. There are also plenty of public art and creative placemaking opportunities that I plan to carry on when I move there.
With that said…I am going to be a new kid in Minneapolis (or St. Paul)! Looking to connect with some people there! Any info that you think I should know about the place, feel free to respond!
Made a friend at the park today.

A few years ago I worked at the University of Minnesota. It was the worst job I’ve ever had.
The day I was ready to tender my resignation, this was sitting on my desk. I thought the universe was trying to tell me to stick it out longer – that the job would get better. So, I stayed for another year.
Spoiler alert: the job did not get better. In fact, it got worse.
But I did keep this photo. And it still makes me smile. The one good thing I got from that job.
