“I’m a listener and a storyteller. I find genuine joy in hearing people’s perspectives on their mobility systems and working together to uncover opportunities for change. I care deeply about partnering with both communities and decision-makers, alongside using evidence-based narratives to build understanding and support for practical solutions. I truly believe that good people, guided by good processes, create great results.”
