Elisa Ibsen

     Elisa is an architecture graduate from Kent State University and is an accredited LEED Green Associate. Coming from her roots in Madison, Wisconsin, she learned to appreciate architecture and urban design through the unique features that the city gave to her. She enjoys challenging herself in her school and extracurricular work, learning a range of new skill sets along the way. Currently, her interests are aligned with accessibility, sustainability, and urban planning.

     Affiliated with the Kent Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students, she brought resources to the community as the Mentorship Committee chair. As a former lifeguard and prospective nursing student, she understands how to communicate and support her co-workers in order to achieve a goal. Within her time as a swim instructor, she learned how to interact with parents, students, co-workers, and managers in order to achieve optimal results for everyone involved.

She would also love to thank her mentors at Kent State and at her former schools and jobs. These people in her life had recognized her strengths and taught her how to both work hard and work smart.
