An interest in sustainable development led Fai Foen (MLA ’11) to the Peace Corps, where she served as a small business advisor in West Africa. While there, she observed how connected people were to their physical environment. It made her want to foster that same connection back home, and inspired her to pursue landscape architecture at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability.
Foen is the director of green infrastructure at The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit organization that enhances the quality of life for Detroiters by planting trees, repurposing the land to create green spaces, and helping communities rebuild their neighborhoods one lot at a time.
