As a Community Engagement Specialist, I evoke my urban planning and public policy background to understand and build relationships with communities served by our clients. I grew up in a tight-knit Seattle community and am passionate about uplifting voices historically overlooked in government planning and decision-making processes. PRR allows me to collaborate and problem-solve with a passionate team on projects that address intersecting issues in our region. As a consistent “jack of all trades, master of none,” I love discovering new activities to try. You will often find me experimenting in the kitchen, singing with friends, playing ultimate frisbee, reading an enjoyable book, playing board games, writing creative novels, or planning a future traveling adventure!

Vision statement of anti-racism.

An anti-racist PRR dismantles systems of advantage based on race when and wherever possible. We engage staff of all racial identities in dismantling white supremacy culture at work. This  includes personal ideologies, beliefs, and behaviors. And, it includes removing white supremacy culture from the systems, cultural messages, institutional policies, procedures, and practices that PRR and our staff interact with and inform. We believe it is not enough to be “not racist.” We must be “anti-racist.”
