LARC 3190 + LARC 4900 | Off-Campus Eleuthera Study Abroad and Independent Study | Summer + Fall 2025​

​The study abroad program to finish off my Landscape Architecture minor, I was able to go to Eleuthera, the Bahamas for part of my Summer in 2025. We researched sustainability in tourism, and the contrast of hospitality tourism with the local communities. The course finished with a sketchbook journal and reflection paper of the trip, and the following Fall, I had the opportunity to take an independent directed-study course. Within this second course, I analysed a site we had visited, and proposed a clubhouse restaurant as a revitalization project on a hotel and educational center that focuses on fostering community between the Eleutheran locals and introducing tourists to true Bahamian culture. The project was then presented to the foundation’s board of directors and president, and will help to raise money with the intent of the design being built.
