September President's Letter

Is it possible to juggle parenthood, a successful career in architecture, and mental health? I was honored to be a part of the discussion on this topic at the Parenthood In Architecture session during the Mental Health in Architecture Summit! The journey I’ve been on since starting PRISM when my boys were so young is something I reflect on often. I learned many lessons (some, the hard way) and always jump at the chance to share what has come from the experience.

Big shoutout to my amazing fellow panelists Mandy Freeland, AIA, NOMA, Ben Kasdan, Steven Biersteker, and Jennifer Matthews for diving deep into this intriguing and insightful discussion. And a heartfelt thank you to all the attendees for your active input; it made the session even more enriching.

Kudos to the incredible Joann Lui, the mastermind behind MHA '23, for bringing us all together and sparking these much-needed conversations! Let's keep it going!
