I grew up in a family that moved around a lot so I had the opportunity to experience living in many different states and cities from a young age. I was able to observe these places and learn about the differences between cities that were planned and designed thoughtfully versus those who were not. I have recently grown a passion for researching the future of sustainable cities. I would like to become an urban planner who passionately cares about the environment and one who contributes to the success of the future of urban areas with thriving communities.
