Hoboken, Nj

Under the guidance of the Director of Transportation and Parking for the City of Hoboken, I managed the development of Hoboken's Vision Zero Action Plan and currently coordinate the implementation of complete streets and Vision Zero principles across the City's transportation planning projects. To help advance these principles, I managed the development of the Hoboken Street Design Guide and assist in the development and review of plans for the City's roadway resurfacing projects. I'm currently leading the City of Hoboken's ongoing efforts to develop a curbside management strategy through the development of a curbside management plan, which will provide policy recommendations and employ innovative technologies such as sensors and a digital clone of Hoboken's curbside regulations to ensure that competing curbside uses are balanced while promoting the City's Vision Zero and sustainability goals. I manage the City's shared mobility programs that currently include bike share and car share. I previously managed the City's shared e-scooter pilot. To help the City achieve its ambitious climate action goals, I am currently managing the development of a public electric vehicle charging station network, that when fully built out, will put all Hoboken residents within a five minute walk of a publicly-accessible charging station. As a current Hoboken Planning Board member, I also work to ensure that development projects further the goals of the City of Hoboken's Master Plan.

As project coordinator for a statewide organization promoting the development and use of parks and multi-use trails, I worked on projects that advanced the creation of regional trail networks in the Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, Hudson Valley, and Capital Region and two statewide trail networks, the NYS Canalway Trail System and the Hudson River Valley Greenway that were the precursors to the 750-mile Empire State Trail. I also managed the NYS Canalway Trail system's Adopt-a-Trail program and annual trail count program that measured trail usage and trends with electronic and in-person counts at various locations across New York State. I also managed the development of bicycle master plans for the City of Troy (NY) and Town of Orangetown (NY).As assistant bike tour director, and under the guidance of the executive director and bike tour directors, I facilitated marketing, planning, and day-to-day management of the eight-day, 400-mile Cycle the Erie Canal bicycle tour from 2016-2018.
