I seek a mid-level planning role or project management role where I can apply my expertise in zoning regulations. Also looking to use my ArcGis skills with special projects as well.

@dylansiers
Urban planner specializing in zoning, land use, and community-focused park planning.
What I'm looking for
I am an urban planner with a Master of Urban Design from the University of Oklahoma and three years of municipal planning experience focused on zoning, land use, and community engagement.
At the City of Tulsa I have managed park development projects, developed cost estimates, coordinated with departments, and used ArcPro to generate demographic and spatial analyses to inform planning decisions.
Previously I served in the Tulsa Planning Office preparing staff reports for rezoning, PUDs, and Comprehensive Plan amendments, presenting to the Planning Commission, tracking cases, and leading public engagement work for the Land Use chapter.
I bring strong skills in SketchUp, Lumion, Adobe Creative Suite, Arc StoryMap, ArcPro, and stakeholder collaboration, and I am motivated to deliver planning solutions that balance policy, community needs, and practical implementation.
