I’m a non-profit executive and urban planning professional whose mission is to help grow vibrant business districts through a chamber of commerce. I have extensive experience running non-profit organizations, creating programs and planning decisions that help small businesses grow, and building capacity with community and government partners to make this happen. I am interested in economic development, business district development, and transit-oriented development (TOD) planning. I hold a Masters in Urban Planning and Policy (MUPP) from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Bachelor’s in Arts in Geography from DePaul University.In my spare time, I am an amateur photographer.
