She is completing her Master of Landscape Architecture from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and she received a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Genetics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). While at the UCLA School of Medicine, she co-authored a scientific manuscript published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and volunteered in an avian research study at the Smithsonian Tropical Institute in Panama, which resulted in a manuscript published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology. Prior to joining Lee + Papa, Ms. Igreti interned for Allan Garnaas Associates, a landscape architecture and urban planning firm located in Alexandria, VA. Motivated and talented, her current projects include Lot 31, a most prominent project which will complete the heart of Bethesda (MD); Lower Georgia Avenue Streetscape; Kingman Island Restoration Project, and Washington DC’s Youth Center.		Inspirations: David Orr’s book The Nature of Design: Ecology, Culture, and Human Intention, as well as projects that successfully emphasize the dialogue between the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, and ecological process. Reads: Children’s story books with my son, fiction, biographies, and any book recommended by our good friend Bill who is an avid reader. Hobbies: Enjoying the beauty of the outdoors through my son’s playfulness, relaxing with family and friends, reading, camping, traveling and enjoying music are some of the things that come to mind.
