After launching her career in architectural history as a Preservation Austin volunteer in 2016, Rosa is delighted to return to the organization in the role of Programs Coordinator. Prior to her move back to Texas, Rosa was a preservation consultant in Los Angeles where she specialized in historic resource surveys. Having grown up in Rhode Island and most recently lived in California, she is intrigued by a diverse array of architectural styles and details, with a soft spot for Streamline Moderne designs.
