I work on socioeconomic forecasting and analytics projects as well as travel demand forecasting projects at SRF. My contributions include demographic forecast preparation and travel demand model creation and curation, as well as involvement in highway planning studies, benefit-cost projects, and preparing reports, data visualizations, and presentation materials. My previous work with the Montana Department of Transportation has given me valuable insight into the practical workings, needs, and goals of small to midsized government planning bodies. I am proficient in operating several software packages and programs including: TransCAD, R, Cube, STATA, and ArcGIS.
