As an associate transportation planner at Metro, I am developing a quick-build guide while supporting our Safe Streets for All program. Growing up in Los Angeles and later leading a youth cooking research program there as a college student, I personally learned how limited mobility options and unsafe streets affected families' daily lives. Moving to Portland transformed my relationship with mobility - I now primarily bike and walk for most trips, experiencing firsthand how safe infrastructure can expand access to our communities. This experience drives my commitment to promote practical solutions that make safe mobility accessible to all, particularly in communities where safe mobility options have historically been limited.
