Elizabeth The Dreamer

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Beth Guillot was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was diagnosed with asthma at the age of three. She spent most of her childhood indoors due to her health issues. Her family always encouraged her creativity and imagination. She attended Louisiana State University where she received her Bachelor of Architecture degree. She is a registered architect and currently lives in Austin, Texas.

“Elizabeth the Dreamer” is her story.

“Throughout my career, I have been asked to present to students about a career in architecture or the practical application of math in architecture. I usually make more of an impression with the teachers as a professional female architect. They express to me how important it is for girls and boys to see that women are able to have a career in architecture along with men. Women comprise only 20% of architects in the US and I would like to encourage all kids that are interested in a career in architecture, especially girls. My goal is to inspire all readers young and old to follow their dreams, at any age!”
