Every trail has something to teach.
This is where I take notes.
My Trail Check-In
Moving. Building. Becoming.
I've always believed that the most important work happens between people, in the conversations that linger, the relationships that hold, and the communities that show up for each other when it matters most. Long before I had a title, I had a way of moving through the world: curious, committed, and convinced that who you bring along matters more than how fast you go.
That belief found its way into a career built on a simple idea: that access and opportunity should never depend on your zip code, your income, or the neighborhood you call home. I've managed Safe Routes to School programs, putting children at the center of transportation planning and making the walk to school safer, healthier, and more equitable. I've worked alongside communities where access to safe sidewalks, bike lanes, and transit isn't a convenience, it's a lifeline. And I've spent years approaching pedestrian and bicycle safety not just as an infrastructure issue, but as a public health issue, because the data is clear: where you live shapes whether you arrive safely. That framing, community first, people first, has guided everything I've built, including the moments I treasure most: watching a young person step onto a trail for the first time and realize the world is bigger than they thought.
Off the clock, you'll find me on a trail. Hiking is where I think, reset, and remember what I'm moving toward. The lessons I find out there, about pacing, about perseverance, about knowing when to pause and take in the view, follow me back into every room I walk into. This site is where those worlds meet: the professional and the personal, the path and the purpose. Move with purpose. Build with people. I'm glad you're here.
