Working across disciplines to bring the best, data-driven solutions to transit's most difficult challenges. Combining our expertise in planning, operations and forecasting, our team acts as a trusted adviser to transit agencies and mobility providers around the country. My work includes corridor studies, strategic planning and policy, system and network analysis for all modes, and long range transit plans. I also focus on incorporating emerging mobility trends and technologies into the transportation system, including micro-transit, connected and automated vehicles, and shared mobility at all scales.

Arlington, Va

Led and participated in innovative multimodal planning and forecasting projects around the country. One of my major areas of focus is planning for emerging transportation technologies, particularly Connected and Automated vehicles. Combining my background in forecasting and planning, I led the development of AECOM's scenario planning tool, Mobilitics, designed to consider their uncertain impacts on transportation and the built environment. (Check out a free preview at www.aecom.com/Mobilitics.) Using Mobilitics and other tools, I help communities make smart decisions with limited resources, allowing them to harness these technologies to create the communities future they want. I work across all modes, and have a passion for helping my clients make the best possible decisions. Other areas of expertise include: transit ridership forecasting, scenario planning, strategic long-range plans, data analytics and performance measurement, and transit planning.

The Bosch Fellowship strives to advance transatlantic relations by broadening Fellows’ professional competence and expertise, as well as by expanding their cultural horizons. The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program includes three main components: one or two high-level work phases, a series of professional seminars, and German language training. Fellows complete work phases in key German institutions such as the federal government and parliament, private corporations, and major German media and cultural organizations. Seminars focus on contemporary German and European issues, and also further the Fellows’ professional development.I spent my Fellowship focused on the potential planning impacts of Autonomous Vehicles, conducting research including a comprehensive literature review, speaking with auto manufacturers and other technology players about the status of the technology development and how they envision the deployment of AVs unfolding. I spent three months working with BuroHappold in Berlin, specifically focused on conducting a Design Sprint on the long term impacts of street design. We gathered experts from around Germany to spend an evening brainstorming and designing how Berlin's streets might change in the future.

Berlin

As part of my Bosch Fellowship, I worked with BuroHappold on a number of projects related to Automated Vehicles and other Smart Cities Technologies. One of my primary focuses was the organization of the Berlin entry in BuroHappold's series of Global Design Sprints on the potential impacts of Autonomous Vehicles on urban design and city planning. We gathered experts from the fields of mobility, academia, architecture, landscape architecture, technology, planning, auto manufacturing and more to brainstorm potential futures for three of Berlin's urban streets.

In four years with CS, I worked on multiple forecasting and planning projects, primarily in Northern Virginia. Major responsibilities and projects included: - Multi-modal corridor and area studies developing alternatives and recommendations for highway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian improvements using the MWCOG/TPB regional model, local sub-area models, and other analytical tools. - Technical research on state-of-the-practice forecasting techniques including traffic assignment methodologies, route flow analysis, time of day choice models, and queue delay functions. - Development of a modeling guidebook for planners and non-technical staff for FHWA. - Long range plans for multiple Travel Demand Management agencies in Virginia.
