I CURRENTLY LIVE IN MILWAUKEE, WI

AND WORK FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION AS A TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER

The name Milwaukee comes from the Native American word “Milliocki” meaning gathering place by the water

I MY CITY

In fact, I love all cities—the buildings, places, infrastructure and everything that makes

cities unique. However, without people cities are nothing. I want to discover how

people make cities tick and I figure I’ll spend the rest of my life searching.

2008 MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY GRAD, BSCE CONCENTRATION IN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

I spent two amazing weeks serving in a makeshift dental clinic, a children’s hospital and a nursing home in Kingston, Jamaica. You can find me volunteering throughout the Milwaukee area from meal kitchens to the Milwaukee Mass Portrait in the Menomonee Valley. Wherever I go, I’ll quickly become engaged within the community.

This is where I learned to apply my engineering skills to the real world—how people and the built environment interact. As a result, I can view and solve problems from both a planner and engineer’s perspective.

WHAT SETS ME APART

Unique educational combination of Transportation Engineering + Urban Planning

Experience with communicating complex issues to the public

Conducted transit and roadway planning and engineering efforts from the policy level down to the functional level

Highly organized with a panache for finding efficiencies in perennial projects

Ability to work and track multiple projects while maintaining deadlines

WHY SANTA MONICA

Innovative

Proactive

Engaged

High standards

Vibrant

Growing

Sustainable

Santa Monica has unique problems to overcome to

ensure future success. Santa Monica’s Land Use &

Circulation Element calls for progressive problem-

solving policies and approaches that will meet the

needs of the future. Implementing these policies will

be challenging and rewarding. My education, skills

and experience would serve Santa Monica well as the

city continues to lead the way.
