Why Work With Me?

As a former Graduate Employee at the University of Oregon, I developed and taught courses in planning and environmental studies, combining academic rigor with practical, applied methods. My consulting work adds real-world context, from grant-funded transportation projects to housing affordability research. I make technical concepts accessible and engaging, ensuring participants leave with practical skills they can use immediately.
