I bring a fresh perspective and GIS skills, particularly in Arc GIS Pro, along with adaptability gained through my experience in community development and urban studies as a Planning Technician.
Results-driven urban planning professional with over 15 years of experience in operations, technical support, and stakeholder coordination. Skilled in leveraging Arc GIS Pro and other GIS skills for hands-on data analysis, field research, and community development. Combines a strong background in problem solving and process improvements with practical experience translating complex information into clear recommendations. This approach supports data-driven decisions and contributes to community-focused planning initiatives in the field of urban studies.
Since I was a kid, I have been drawn to urban planning and the idea of creating spaces that foster Community Development, where people feel connected to their neighborhoods and each other. This interest led me to pursue a degree in Urban Studies and Planning, complemented by GIS skills acquired through a GIS certificate in Arc GIS Pro. I believe that cities are strongest when they reflect the needs and voices of their communities, and I am committed to bringing that vision to fruition as a future Planning Technician.
My passion for planning has also been shaped by my travels. I have explored transportation systems, historic preservation, and emerging urban forms from all corners of the globe—from wandering through bustling new cities to studying the Rhône River in France. These experiences have enriched my understanding of how places can honor their histories while evolving towards more equitable and sustainable futures.
