Born and raised on Long Island, New York, my life has been shaped by the challenges of growing up in the suburbs. Navigating the curiosity of the environment around me as a child led me to the world of Urban Planning where I now spend my days working towards creating a more equitable place to live for all people.
Completing my undergrad in Community Development at Temple University, I was given the most critical experience needed: working collaboratively with communities. Equitable and sustainable development are at the core of my values as I believe the city is a place for all to exist in harmony.
Now, with my Masters of Urban Planning from Hunter College, I am using the compiled knowlege I have gained as I travel the world as a United Airlines Flight Attendant - collaborating with community orgs across the globe.
In my free time I wander about, experiencing different urban environments, observing how they function and indulging in the different experiences. You can find me biking all over New York City with friends, listening to my record collection, or binge watching obscure youtube documentaries.

The largest city in the US without a formal zoning code creates this interesting environment to explore. The food is to die for... although the transit infrastructure leaves much to desire.
The 49th State provides a unique experience of a more modern industrialization of a location known for its natural beauty. The same beauty permiates through the downtown - whos physicality is a result of the second largest earthquake ever recorded.
