Politics nerd, public transit fan, and outdoors enthusiast. I love cities as centers of human existence and as sites of potential social change. I do my best work when modeling complex situations that different people interact with in different ways.

I am an avid skier and a dedicated learner. I enjoy jobs that challenge me both intellectually and physically.

My education has been research and writing intensive. I learn software quickly & have experience with Excel, ArcGIS, QGIS, Adobe CC, HTML, Sketchup & Python.
