Question and Answers
After graduation, what was the first position you had? How did that shape where you are now as a Landscape Architect?
My first role was part of a new team in a multi-disciplinary company that was just starting to build their landscape architectural team. I had the great opportunity to work with individuals from various backgrounds and experiences, as well as on a wide variety of project types across Alberta and into BC and Saskatchewan. This experience showed me the full breadth of what a Landscape Architect can do and helped me narrow down my future career goals.
What are some of your roles and responsibilities?
- Reviewing proposed plans for parks across the City.
- Revising processes and standards for park development.
- Working with the Parks Planners on strategy and policy to guide the future of Edmonton's Landscape.
- Developing high level site plans for future parks including school sites and district parks.
- Preparing reports and memos for Council
What does a typical day look like for you?
Lots of emails, conversations, and coordination. Working for the City is very different from working in consulting - I spend less time with pen to paper working on projects and more time talking with people, researching, and writing. It's fast paced and keeps me on my toes, and it's great being in a position where I get to work with people so regularly.
What are you passionate about as a Landscape Architect?
Advocacy - I want to help as many people as I can understand what Landscape Architects can do and why utilizing our unique skill set can be an asset to their projects.
