My Story

On this site I speak of combining neighborhood planning and healthcare.  I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Urban Planning and 18 years of experience in neighborhood planning and organizing.  Since 2014, I have served as a project manager for a healthcare system where I gained great insight in how the organization works and what is important to them.  With this combination of knowledge and skills, I feel an obligation to help bring them together for the greater good of communities everywhere.
