Growing up, Sabrina Lorica was obsessed with tree houses. That passion convinced her that architecture was her true calling. When the time came for college, Sabrina decided to study in Boston, a city known for its iconic architecture.
“I mentioned to Michael Mozill, my business professor, that a major tree house company was hiring. He said, ‘Hang up and call them now!’ I ended up spending several months working with some of the top names in tree-house design. I was star struck but also learned so much about the process of architecture."
