I am an economic development professional working to revitalize cities through data-driven decision-making, programmatic innovation and cross-sector partnerships.
Right now I work as Real Estate Development Intern for Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. Previously I was Special Projects Coordinator for Rhiza Labs, a social venture that helps nonprofits and government agencies to turn data into action. I also recently helped Oakland Planning and Development Corporation to evaluate and improve its affordable housing development program.
Along the way I've done market research, designed websites, and managed community outreach for a number of agencies. Technology is the common thread across all my experience. In essence, I help organizations to make better decisions with data.
I grew up near Pittsburgh, which sparked my passion for cities. Currently I'm working toward an M.S. in Public Policy and Management with a concentration in Urban and Regional Economic Development at Carnegie Mellon University's H. John Heinz III College. I completed my B.A. at the University of Pittsburgh with majors in Urban Studies (concentrating in urban policy and planning) and Urban History and a minor in Public Service. I've also completed leadership development programs with StartingBloc, Young People For the American Way and the League of Young Voters.
I'm interested in connecting with public servants, social innovators, and policy wonks all over. Contact me.
