My name is Lindsey Aitken Ricken. I am a senior at Arizona State University majoring in Urban Planning and
Design Studies and I will be graduating Magna Cum Laude this Fall. Aside form my studies, the greatest focus in
my life right now is my family. My husband and two young sons have temporarily realigned my career desires,
and are the hub of my energy.
I am a very dedicated, passionate and creative person. Completing my bachelor's degree, part-time, while raising
a family has been the greatest challenge I have yet to face, and has taught me a lot.
I love anything creative - drawing, painting, knitting, cooking, gardening, and jewelry making are among them.
I love to plan and organize as well; keeping lists is one of my obsessions. I love to stay active - swimming, hiking,
biking, doing yoga and Pilates (especially with my kids) helps keep me centered and feeling good.
I am very interested in the growing field of "Green" building and environmental design. Ultimately I hope to
begin a career involved in creating healthier communities through the application of these disciplines where my creativity
and communication skills are exercised.
