Teresa Lyons

B.Env.D., M. Arch., Architectural Intern

"I always wanted to be a teacher. Even as a kid, I loved helping younger children and played “school” with my cousin for hours on end. As a teenager, I spent my summers taking care of my little brothers, visiting the park and doing crafts. As they took their afternoon naps, I dreamt up floor-plans for homes and cottages, furnished with clippings from Ikea® catalogues. At some point over those hot summer months, I realized I had two passions: for play, and for design. I realized I didn’t need to be a teacher and instead, I continued to create, and shifted my career path towards architecture.”

Teresa is an architectural intern. She completed her Masters of Architecture in 2023.
