Ken Burns' documentary, Brooklyn Bridge, remains the definitive tribute to the beloved engineering marvel that I walk over daily. I often return to the Arthur Miller quote featured in the film: that the bridge inspires one to "add something that would last and be beautiful."

When I saw trash piling up, I removed the trash myself and eventually partnered with another volunteer to remove the"love" locks. The collective response was clear: New Yorkers wanted a clean bride. And I wanted to create something that would last and be beautiful.

This effort earned me the nickname, "Brooklyn Brigilante", but really I'm just a Brooklyn Heights resident who cares deeply about the bridge, it's history, and public space. We deserve a better status quo and the agencies who serve it deserve resources to help them do that.

With a Master of Public Administration from Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy and nearly 15 years of experience in change management — across a variety of management consulting firms and later at Google — I know how to help organizations actually get things done, not just plan them. When I completed the Sanitation Foundation's NYC Trash Academy, I realized that skillset didn't have to stay in the office: the same tools for building buy-in, navigating bureaucracy, and driving a plan to completion can be applied to advocacy for the Brooklyn Bridge.
