I'm a single, 26-year-old homeowner living with my two tenant-friends and our pup, Myrtle, in District 9. This past May I obtained my master's degree in urban planning and returned to Austin to take a position in the public sector. My main areas of interest include land use planning, real estate finance, and affordable housing policy. After an extended stint in the Northeast, I'm excited to reconnect with my hometown and become an active member of my local community through advocacy for progressive urban policies and causes. As a member of both FAN and South River City Citizens (SRCC) Neighborhood Association, I'm hopeful that we can work together to help solve Austin's most pressing challenges.
