Community Engagement Specialist
I build relationships with clients and community members to move projects forward in a positive direction. Engagement is ultimately about ensuring effective dialogue between the project team and the community. I love working with the talented PRR team to address the challenges and opportunities associated with every project, recognizing that true community engagement cannot rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Outside of work, I volunteer with Out in National Security, an organization supporting LGBTQIA+ professionals. I have also worked on deliberative democracy and facilitation initiatives in Southwest Washington. In my personal time, I enjoy hiking and camping with my husband, reading nonfiction, and exploring the Portland food scene.
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.”
