“I grew up in a small urban area in the middle of the Missouri where transportation continues be a barrier to accessing employment, education, healthcare and every service that people need in the community. As a small child, I would ride the city bus in Kansas City, where my mother would drop me off at the daycare and then head to work downtown. My parents moved to Jefferson City, and even though I watched the school bus drive past my house every morning, I was not within the boundary lines to be eligible. Therefore, I rode the Jefftran 50 East city bus to school every day through high school. Later, I continued my journey on public transit as a student at the University of Kansas where I became more involved as a student senator which helped shaped the formal beginnings of my career.”
“While growing professionally in my career as a transportation planner, facilities designer, and grants manager, I referenced the material produced by CTAA and NCMM over the years. At the local and state level I always tried to support the goals of NCMM overall “enhancing transportation options for all through coordination and mobility management practices and strategic partnerships.” I am excited and look forward to contributing to the work of the NCMM team. I am excited and look forward to meeting and learning from others as well as assisting in developing diverse mobility options nationwide for their communities.”
