Gayle is a designer at HOK, and current IIDA NPC Board member, which is how we met. She is super passionate about sustainability, and we have some great conversation around that subject on this episode! We talk about her experience at Philly U/Thomas Jefferson U, working and volunteering for IIDA on the east coast, and that we both lived in the NYC/NJ area reminisce about the things we miss from there, and of course, her work here in Seattle.

Philadelphia University/ Thomas Jefferson University

Checking myself! Charlotte Leveque Season 2, Episode 9, also graduated from Thomas Jefferson University. She went to Drexel first, which was a competitor of Philly U, and both were acquired by Thomas Jefferson University. For the School Count, I am going to count them both as Thomas Jefferson University.
