A graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, Hillary spent her final semester reimagining Washington Park, an impoverished neighborhood in Milwaukee, for her Master’s Thesis. With this project she was able to focus on her interests in adaptive reuse. She studied vacancies of a range of small to large scale buildings, in order to promote walkability, adaptability, and enriching the experience of residents. She is originally from Madison, Wisconsin and has interned with OPN twice in summer and winter of 2015. She spends any spare time at her horse’s barn and competing within the Midwest for show jumping.
