Our POV:
"The next generation deserves our action and commitment today to making communities physically, socially and economically resilient."
A Belief in Partnerships
"I bring valuable cross-sector experience to every job, having served in the public, non-profit and private sectors, and on a variety of scales. I grasp the complexity of - and opportunities to be found in - our diverse communities."
We Elevate the Field
"I aim to advance the fields of adaptation and mitigation planning. I serve as an elected leader of the 4,200-member Sustainable Communities Division of the American Planning Association, where I have also been a contributing author to two APA policy guides and spearheaded an APA National Sustainability & Resilience Series to help all planners get up to speed on these important subjects. Further, I chaired the recent AICP Task Force that drafted the criteria for a forthcoming mandatory AICP CM credit in sustainability and resilience taking effect in 2022 . I am also a supporting member of the American Society of Adaptation Professionals, as well as certified as a LEED Green Associate."
