I care deeply about moving and connecting people, and broadening opportunities for people to reach where they need to go - jobs, education, retail locations, medical facilities, social services, and recreation. Providing individuals with safe, affordable, and attractive transportation options not only improves their quality of life but also benefits an entire community. I am a motivated and passionate professional who works every day to create innovative, useful, and equitable transportation systems.
