Thoughts on being elected to Council of Fellows:Over the past 21 years in this profession, I have worked at jobs in the public and private sectors. Being inducted as a Fellow is a humbling experience for me. Anyone who loves what they do would willingly give of their time, their knowledge, and a part of their life for something they truly believe in. I am honored to be selected as a fellow of ASLA. But through it all, there has been a continuous thread woven into the fabric of my career, and that has been the volunteering of countless hours to this profession on state and national levels.
