As an associate on the research team, I assist clients in answering important questions by gathering data, designing surveys, analyzing data and reporting the results. And I love doing it beside my PRR talented, PRR colleagues on a daily basis. Outside of work, I like to volunteer at the humane society and spend time outside going on walks and tending my garden.

Research
I help conduct efficient and culturally conscious public research that leads to an improved quality of life for our communities now and for future generations. Outside of work, I support nontraditional candidates for state and local elected office, and as a nationally certified competitive gymnastics judge, I help ensure that trans and nonbinary youth athletes can train and compete safely and equitably. In my free time I can be found hiking, tabletop gaming, and/or trying new recipes with my wife.

Research
I manage and support various social science research projects and work closely with clients to meet their research needs. This role allows me to turn data into information to solve challenging societal issues, and working toward making a positive impact within the community is rewarding! Before PRR, I managed a health intervention to reduce sugared fruit drinks in Alaska Native children. The opportunity to collaborate with indigenous people and the tribal council has broadened my perspectives in pursuing diversity, equality, and inclusion. Growing up in a tropical island, Taiwan, I adore the beauty of four seasons in the PNW. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping, and snowboarding.

My role at PRR is to bring the look and feel of our proposals to the next level and to make them stand out. I take technical and information-heavy documents and make them well-organized and pleasant to look through. I love that PRR is a company dedicated to the health and well-being of its employees and the community at large and that there’s a heavy focus on DEI. A lot of my free time is spent with my family and within our little community. Our kids play together and they’ve grown up together, with the parents helping each other out and being supportive. I also love creating artwork inspired by nature and pushing the limits of crafting material to see what it can do.

Operations
My mission is to ensure PRR is at the forefront of the latest transportation issues, developing smart policies, engaging the community, and communicating the benefits and challenges. I love engaging with industry professionals to solve problems, develop new programs, and share stories. I focus most of my volunteer time growing young women into confident, happy, professionals, and working mothers through PRR and community organizations. When I'm not with my PRR family, I'm taking in a sunny Northwest day with my husband, and watching our (four) kids play tennis, softball, or baseball.

Community Engagement
Facilitation
I help clients inclusively reach and gather input from the communities they serve. Like PRR, I believe that an informed community is a healthy and thriving community and am thrilled to work at a place where I can use my skills to further healthy communities with our partners. Outside of my PRR role, I volunteer for the Red Cross and am involved in bilingual leadership camps/workshops for middle and high school students across Washington. To keep my inner introvert at peace, I enjoy documentaries of all topics, tending to my windowsill garden, and spending time with my family.

Language Services
I use translation and transcreation processes to adapt messages into Spanish. By making information available to our Limited English Proficiency (LEP) populations in their native language, we are creating a more inclusive society. In this sense, being a language specialist at PRR allows me to fulfill my passion for serving my community. Some of my previous volunteer work includes participating in Casa Latina’s Day Worker Center (DWC) arranging work placement opportunities for Latina/o immigrants; doing design work for Community To Community, an immigrant rights organization; and interpreting at the annual Seattle/King County Free Clinic. In my free time, I like hiking, traveling and taking trips up to Bellingham to visit family. I also like exploring new restaurants here in town and leaving—mainly good—reviews.

Language Services
As a construction communicator at PRR, I help keep communities informed about projects that enhance their neighborhoods and improve everyday life. When I’m not working, you can find me in the gym, traveling to warmer climates, cheering on my favorite sports teams, golfing, or spending time with the people who matter most.

I work by the motto: do it all to learn it all. This makes me a jack-of-all-trades in practice, though the best part of my job is coming up with creative new ways to engage the public. My role is enhanced through collaboration with my PRR colleagues, who inspire me to be more creative and think further outside the box. Outside the office, I love to hang out with my adopted Husky puppy, Swayze, or get my sweat on at a yoga or crossfit class.

My first love in communications was food and nutrition work. Through my work at PRR, I broadened that focus to healthcare and other strategic communications work that can contribute to more equitable communities. Today, I also guide our client services, creative studio, and market development teams to make it meaningful in everything they do. I am very honored to have a place on PRWeek’s national “40 Under 40″ list (not saying which year!). I am also Past President of the Atlantic Street Center’s Board of Directors and proud former foster parent for cats at PAWS (I only kept two – Guillermo and Barack – as well as a pup named Quincy!).

I help clients meaningfully communicate, engage, and collaborate with the communities they serve. PRR allows me to position for and support this community-focused work, with a great and open culture. Outside of my day-to-day work, I'm proud of my contributions to the design and administration of STEM curricula to local high schoolers. I also enjoy reading, hiking, yoga, and participating in my son’s school and sports activities.

Community Engagement
Social Marketing
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.”
