Welcome to my personal site! On these pages, I muse about affordable housing, city planning, and French while also documenting my professional work. I am currently an affordable housing developer, urbanist, and francophile in the Washington, DC area. I hope that this site can play a part in the conversation about how to make housing cheaper and more accessible for everyone.
More broadly, I love cities, and I hope to use these pages to describe the favorite parts of urban living. I am a staunch advocate for reforming American land use towards dense, urban infill development and investing in public transportation that will allow for sustainable growth of urban areas. You can find some of my writing and advocacy work at Greater Greater Washington.
I hold a Master’s of City Planning degree from UC Berkeley, and this blog showcases some projects from my time in California. While there, I interned at the San Francisco Planning Department, where I created an online tools to visualize and summarize the city’s development pipeline. Before then, I also lived for a brief stint in Chicago and grew up in Clarksville, Tennessee. You can find my latest CV here.
