I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee and moved to Boston in 2017 to study Environmental Analysis and Policy at Boston University. I have lived car free my entire life making me particularly passionate about improving Boston’s transit network, so it was only natural to pursue a career in transportation as it is not only an interest but a lifestyle. In January 2023 I began at TransitMatters as the Programs Manager/Policy Analyst where I lead the NextGen Bus, Mobility Hubs, and TransitMatters Labs campaigns. 

I am interested in urbanism, transit oriented development, and mode shift. I am most excited about the NextGen Bus team’s efforts in advocating for the needs of bus riders and putting riders at the forefront of our work. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, cooking, and flaneuring around Boston’s various neighborhoods.
