Portfolio

My portfolio is a reflection of a career shaped by purpose, global experience, and a commitment to community-centered change. My educational background includes criminal justice, urban design & planning, technology, fitness, genealogy adn volunteer work.  My work stands at the intersection of equity, innovation, and storytelling. I approach every project—whether it’s research, writing, community engagement, or strategic planning—with a deep awareness of how systems affect people, particularly those from historically marginalized communities.

From serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer to operating autonomous vehicles, building small businesses, and designing urban systems, I’ve learned to navigate complexity with clarity. Each role sharpened my ability to translate big ideas into actionable solutions while staying grounded in the lived realities of the communities I serve.

These experiences also allowed me to develop a global lens, one where my work is included the values of culture and people across various continents.Environmental racism, displacement prevention, and information systems for equitable mobility are not abstract topics for me—they are the through lines that guide my research and my creative practice.  My planning and outreach work focus on building pathways for stability, access, and opportunity. And my technical experience helps me bridge the gap between policy, people, and emerging technologies.
