My Story

I'm passionate about solutions at the intersection of product management, geospatial technology, social connection and environmental justice. I've spent 15 years in this space as an Urban Planner/Designer both in private and public practice, Geospatial Technologist and Information Manager in the AEC industry, and Product Manager of geodata in real-world mobile games such as Pokémon GO.
