I am currently working for the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration as a community planner/GIS Specialist. Mostly, I promote the use of new technology to state departments of transportation. I am also working on a project to make environmental planning, using GIS, an integral part of FHWA project planning process from start to finish. I finished my Master of Science in Geographic Information Systems at the University of Redlands, CA in December of 2004. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala in the Municipal Development program. Working primarily in Rio Hondo, Zacapa, I was the technical assessor to the planning office, promoting civic engagement in the prioritization of community projects. I also gave basic training sessions in ArcView GIS to municipalities throughout Guatemala and to the volunteers in the Municipal Development Program.
Check out the ArcNews article about the work that I did, after taking over for Janet O'Callahan.
I graduated from University of Illinois in May of 2001, with a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Planning (BAUP). I was the recipient of the Karl Lohman Award for Exceptional Professional Promise for BAUP. I am passionate about justice and equality in the United States and around the world. My areas of interest within the field of urban planning include using GIS for both planning low-income neighborhods and environmental planning. I was a participant in the East St. Louis Action Research Project (ESLARP), helping the residents to develop the Lansdowne Steering Committee (a grassroots organization to improve the quality of life in the Lansdowne neighborhood). After traveling to Cuba for the summer of 2000 to study planning and development, I worked for the Village of Northbrook's Engineering Department. |

"I'm tired of someone else's propaganda. I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole."
