What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in urban planning, focusing on sustainability and community engagement.

I am a forward-thinking urban planner and designer with dual master’s degrees in Urban Design and Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Colorado, Denver. My passion lies in creating sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban environments. I have a Graduate Certificate in Environmental Policy and Management, which complements my academic background with practical insights into environmental challenges.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including my current position as a Planner I for the City of Cheyenne. Here, I provide guidance on planning, zoning, and subdivisions, ensuring compliance with city regulations while promoting sustainable development. My work involves collaborating with architects, builders, and stakeholders to create effective urban solutions that enhance community well-being.

In addition to my planning expertise, I have served as a Long-Range Planning Intern and Project Manager, where I conducted data analysis, mapping, and public engagement efforts. I am committed to fostering partnerships with community stakeholders and utilizing best practices to inform policy recommendations. My goal is to contribute to innovative urban planning initiatives that prioritize sustainability and inclusivity.
