BIO
What type of work do you typically do at the CRS?
My work focuses on engaging various stakeholders in helping communities understand what is or has occurred for them in their own words. This work helps decision-makers, advocates, and policy-makers address societal challenges in fact-based methods.
What are some of your favorite past projects that you've worked on? Why?
My favorite aspect of the work has been working with communities to refine what they are seeking. Frequently, potential projects in the idea phase end up looking significantly different by the time we begin the project. As this happens we get to see the passion behind why this matters and the impact it will have on current and future generations.
What else would you like people to know about you professionally?
As a former local elected official for 12 years in Vermont I am keenly interested in helping communities to address the systemic barriers preventing them from their desired state. This is one of the reasons why I am also a part-time student in the Sustainable Development Policy, Governance, and Economics Ph.D. program within the Community Development and Applied Economics department here at UVM.
What is your favorite thing about Vermont?
As a near lifelong Vermonter there are many reasons why I love to call Vermont home. Some include finding new hiking trails and local restaurants to help refuel, as well as trying to visit as many local bakeries as possible.
