Biography:

I am a native Oregonian and a lifelong Portlander. I maintain strong interests in urban planning, transportation planning, sustainability, land use planning, housing, and economic development. I have previously worked in land use planning with city and county governments in Oregon and as a consultant in the private sector. I hope to serve my community however I can, as best I can. My skills include coordination, leadership, teamwork, team building, communication, customer service, writing, editing, and critical thinking. I am quick to adapt to new jobs and tasks, and I'm always looking forward to a better future.

In my free time, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, heading to the movie theater, and cheering for the Portland Trailblazers and the Oregon Ducks.
