At West North Avenue Development Authority, I managed community development and capital improvement projects across 16 neighborhoods. I led development of a state-authorized grant program and completed a 900-tree planting initiative with contractors, public partners, and residents.

I also advanced park projects and coordinated a bridge-underpass improvement involving murals, lighting, and landscaping. At Coppin Heights Community Development Corporation, I completed a streetscape and placemaking implementation plan and managed a food-hall art and interior design initiative.
