Missy was born in Macedonia when it was still part of Yugoslavia, earning her BArch at the University Kiril and Metodij, Skopje, North Macedonia. She has over thirty years of experience in healthcare, commercial, high-tech, biotech, education, and civic architectural design. As far back as third grade, when Missy wrote an essay about what she wanted to be when she grew up, she knew she would be an architect. When she is not at work, you will likely find her gardening, cooking, walking with her dog, and keeping up with the latest news from her native country Macedonia. A goal on her bucket list is to contribute to Macedonia through architecture or volunteering in the community, particularly with young people. One thing that might surprise people to know about Missy is her love for everything French, food, fashion, lifestyle, movies, and culture.
