Investigated whether there is a direct correlation between health disparities and architecture in urban areas of Washington, D.C.; analyzed the architecture and planning of the city, compared various socio-economic  structures, relationship of housing developments and available healthy lifestyle opportunities (such as fresh food markets, healthcare, and areas for recreation) of the city.  Interpreted building codes, policies, created graphic maps and documents.  Formulated a report that was presented at a health care symposium.  The research concluded that despite careful planning and design, other factors such as income, education, and interest in one’s community, contribute to health disparities.

Tau Sigma Delta Honor Society in Architecture and Allied Arts
This undergraduate research and study dealt with how the physical and built environment contributed to the persistent problem of health maintenance, health access and health disparities in urban neighborhoods or, how do the physical circumstances of a person affect the inception and development of their pathos, their suffering.  In order for healthy conditions to be sustainable, a well ordered built environment is necessary and much needed.  This research was presented along with two  professors from the Howard University School of Architecture and Planning for the 2012 Howard University Symposium on U.S. Healthcare.
