Medford Open Streets Programming
The Medford Open Streets program was established in 2019. After a brief hiatus, the program was re-launched in 2023. As the new lead for this program, my goals are to improve program sustainability and replicability by fostering stronger relationships with our community partners, establish and measure program goals to rationalize program continuation, and educate community members about existing and expanding multi-modal infrastructure to support trip replacement.

A Visioning Document for Lake City (2020)
A Visioning Document for Lake City (2020)
In collaboration with the Lake City Neighborhood Alliance, this professional project explores why the Lake City neighborhood has not experienced the same vibrancy as other Seattle neighborhoods. This visioning guide provides insights to how the neighborhood may create an identity around its natural history in lieu of built historic character, utilize interim use to support entrepreneurs and improve horizontal density, and found or partner with a community land trust or similar organization to gain site control for community-led development.
Community Materials
The Community Materials are an introduction or abbreviation of the research found in the primary document, designed to provide community materials with key insights to how change may be enacted.

Indigenous Elders: Mapping Populations for Equitable COVID-19 Prevention and Care
Indigenous Elders: Mapping Populations for Equitable COVID-19 Prevention and Care
With Seven Directions, an Indigenous health and wellness research institute, this presentation was prepared to introduce the Indigenous Elders: Mapping Populations for Equitable COVID-19 Prevention and Care, for the International Indigenous Research Conference in Aukland, New Zealand in 2020. The tool itself was shared with Tribal Nations for use and replication. This project used the Census Community Resiliency Estimates to identify vulnerable Census Tracts and American Indian and Alaska Native households, and vaccine distribution data from the CDC COVID-19 Dashboard. Together, this information was used to evaluate if efforts successfully reached vulnerable communities.
This draft will be used to guide future community research partnerships and grant seeking efforts.
City of Bellingham Report on Annexation (2019)
City of Bellingham Report on Annexation (2019)
As a student consultant, the Spring Studio class of 2019 worked with the City of Bellingham to research the existing conditions and potential impacts of annexation on several unincorporated neighborhoods. As part of our research, we designed and implemented several open house charettes and conducted a statistically valid survey of community attitudes towards annexation. Our findings and recommendation were presented to the Bellingham City Council in Spring of 2019.
My specific contributions to this project included creating an existing conditions report of the Yes Street neighborhood area; managing community outreach to publicize our open house events; assisting with the planning, coordinating and speaking at our open house events; drafting survey questions; analyzing data and assisting with our final presentation to the Bellingham City Council.
