For over 15 years I've developed and managed programs that prioritize the movement of people. While leading many of the Capital Region Transportation Council's planning efforts in the region, like the Patroon Greenway Feasibility Study, Smart Communities Toolbox, Capital District Electric Vehicle Charging Station Plan, and the Capital District Trails Plan, my passion to increase accessibility to transportation choices and inspire changes in how we choose to travel have grown. My motivation to change the way we move people is rooted in my desire to create a more sustainable Capital Region. One that demonstrates to other regions and cities what can be done and one that retains and attracts the next generation of Capital Region residents who want to be part of a cleaner, greener, thriving place.
