Melissa Carter is a Design Associate at Clemens Bruns Schaub
Architect & Associates. She also serves as the AIA Treasure Coast
Associate Director. She graduated from Savannah College of Art
and Design with a Master's Degree in Architecture.
As the AIA Treasure Coast Associate Director, her main goal has
been to promote the architecture community's accomplishments in
local media. As the Florida Caribbean Associate Director, she
learned about various legal efforts to minimize the role of the

the public due to their responsibility to protect the health, safety,
