Community Engagement Specialist
Washington
As a Community Engagement Specialist, I help center and amplify community voices with my deep commitment to equity and inclusion. I have more than 10 years of experience in public involvement, relationship management, and fundraising. I am passionate about driving mission-focused initiatives that empower communities to shape their futures in our transportation, public health, and environmental sectors. My roots are in Washington state; however, I am grateful to serve the PRR Portland team while I pursue my Master of Urban and Regional Planning from Portland State University. I am eager to apply my skills in urban planning, civic engagement, and policy development to PRR’s diverse work. In my personal time, I enjoy satisfying my cat’s demands for attention, reading, hiking, beachcombing, and finding Portland’s best matcha latte.
People are at the heart of our work, and we have some really great people.
We help our clients change the world for the better. Interested in joining the team?
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.”
