Raised in Denver, Colorado, Jada Cannon has always been fascinated by architecture and its potential to shape communities. After graduating from the University of Colorado Denver with a bachelor's of science in architecture in 2021, they knew they wanted to continue my education and explore new ways of approaching the field.
Now pursuing their master's in architecture at Cornell University, they are focused on exploring the value of biodynamic processes, multi-generational timescales, diverse perspectives, and multifaceted approaches to accessibility in architecture. They are driven by a deep commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity in the field, and have served on the Diversity and Inclusion Council at Cornell AAP as well as being an LGBTQ+ Resource Center engagement coordinator.
Through their studies and community involvement, they aspire to become an architect who considers an array of different, often underrepresented, perspectives, and represents communal values in the built environment. They believe that architecture has the power to make a positive impact on people's lives, and they are committed to using my skills and knowledge to create spaces that are welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to all.
