Fun Facts

  • In high school, as a proud CPS kid, I got introduced to urban planning and that’s what first got me excited about building more affordable, inclusive, and equitable communities.
  • I’m a big fan of long weekends over long vacations. There’s something fun about cramming a week’s worth of adventure into just a few days!
  • Family is everything to me. I’m happiest when I’m spending time with the people I love.
