Researcher, thinker, and writer, trying to make (human and other-than-human) communities better.



Intro

My goal is to make the world better for all who inhabit it. This may be in the human-created world of the city or through habitat for our other-species cousins. This may be through research, writing, advocacy, or design. A particular area of interest is in the communicative power of arts to motivate people.

Work

I am a thorough researcher, a holistic thinker, and have an open mind. I have worked in advocacy, land conservation, urban design, transportation planning, architecture, and cultural organizations.

Eclectic? Yes. Focused on good? Yes.


Whether for government, a not for profit, as a consultant, or a dedicated community member, I have always been motivated by making the community and environment better. I have been - and am - a researcher, writer, advocate, designer, host, and program and project manager. I have multiple master’s degrees in museum studies, urban design and planning, and in architecture, and a juris doctor (just for fun).
