As a senior web developer, I am responsible for building and maintaining websites for PRR’s public- and private-sector clients. I’m excited about the opportunity to create the technology that supports organizations dedicated to making positive changes. Outside of my work in tech, I’ve helped direct investment into revitalizing underserved communities, ensuring properties remain affordable and accessible through government housing subsidies while promoting sustainable growth. In my free time, I love traveling and spending time outdoors. Some of my favorite activities include snowboarding, whitewater rafting, paddleboarding, and riding motorcycles.

I like to think of myself as a perspective translator and a shared vision detective. At PRR, I put these skills to use as the communications team lead for WSDOT’s Puget Sound Gateway Megaprogram. This means I get to work with an integrated team of planners, contractors, environmental scientists, communicators, outreach specialists, and more to help extend their vision to a variety of audiences across the Puget Sound region. Before joining PRR, I spent a decade applying my perspective translator (and sometimes actual translator) skills in the field of public health, as a program manager and then external relations director for a center of the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health. As such, I am a lifelong advocate for health equity and a newly minted champion of the benefits of a multimodal and inclusive built environment. When I’m not DIY-ing at home (for better or for worse), you should probably look for me on a ski slope, SCUBA diving, or researching a vacation where I can somehow manage to do both.

Community Engagement
My role at PRR exists to give guidance, strategy, and project management support to our clients through the delivery work products that maximize public involvement for a variety of initiatives. What I love most about my job is the ability to see a project through to completion. I hope that my work ensures that community voices are heard. Outside of my work, I am most proud of my travel experiences. I have lived in four states and traveled to 15 countries. My favorite way to travel is on a cruise ship. If I could spend my entire life on a cruise ship, I think I would do it. I love trying new foods, attending concerts and shows, and exploring new destinations.

Community Engagement
I act as an extension of my clients and am committed to engaging and educating the communities they serve. My work includes the planning and execution of events and public engagement for projects across our sectors. I am thrilled to work for such an innovative company, with a great team of socially responsible change-makers! In my free time, I enjoy volunteering, participating in young professional groups, and taking my cats for walks in their stroller around Capitol Hill.

Facilitation
By day, I’m a civic innovator, specializing in human-centered design and strategic communications for the public sector. As a Social Marketing Account Manager at PRR, I work with our clients to help them effectively connect, communicate, and engage with their customers and constituents through strategic communications and marketing. I use a human-centered focus to develop marketing and communications materials that reach our client’s audiences where they are. Using experience-design informed methods, I help PRR’s clients create positive public impact through marketing strategies, community engagement, and workshop facilitation. By night, I'm a travel content creator and planner, sharing my experiences with local communities across the world and helping others to have those experiences too. On my travel blog, discoverwithsam.com, I explore and highlight social impact travel experiences, find local hidden gems, and support small businesses. I love helping people experience the world through a connection to the local wherever they are.

Social Marketing
I help connect people with the projects planned in their communities so that their values, concerns, and priorities are considered and reflected in the outcome. Engagement looks different with every community and every project, but my day-to-day generally involves a lot of writing – e-newsletters, stories, postcards – and listening, whether at project open houses or community listening sessions. By connecting with people through this work, I feel connected to – and engaged with – what’s going on in my own community. I also really love learning about things I wouldn’t otherwise, like how a water main gets replaced or how neighborhood systems function behind the scenes. I’m passionate about walkable cities, and I’m an avid pedestrian. My favorite way to get to know a place is to walk around it, ideally with an audiobook playing and a couple stops to check out local coffee shops and restaurants.

I help our PRR staff troubleshoot technical issues, and work with our teams to ensure our evolving technology practices and tools are intuitive. This role provides the opportunity to work on a spectrum of issues, and I also love the diversity and inclusivity PRR strives to achieve every day. In my off time, I've spent 13 years perfecting my meat and vegetable rub (I believe it could challenge a Tom Douglas rub any day of the week) and I enjoy hosting friends for full-day smoked meat sessions (brisket, pork shoulder, chicken thighs, you name it!).

As a visual designer, I’m excited to dive into interesting projects at PRR and learn more about the role of design within government channels. Exploring how design intersects with areas like transportation and community outreach is especially intriguing. I love graphic design because it’s the perfect intersection of art and strategy. Even when creating art for myself, I strive to infuse it with a theme, a metaphor, or an overarching idea, giving it deeper meaning. What excites me most is working on something creative every day, using knowledge and research to piece together a cohesive and meaningful design. One of my favorite activities outside of work is playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends. At its core, D&D is about a group of people coming together, each with a character which acts as a set of personal parameters, to create a collaborative story. It’s your job to not only know your character but be open to learning about others while simultaneously navigating challenging questions and solving difficult problems together. I truly value the soft skills this experience has given me, especially when working on projects that involve multiple voices and perspectives. I also love reading fantasy novels, drawing/painting, and gaming.

As a Research Analyst, I work with data and conduct analysis with an eye toward building structures to support work in the long term. I support analysis and reporting, particularly for projects with strong quantitative elements, and develop resources to strengthen data processing and analysis across PRR’s Research team. At PRR, I have the freedom to ask meaningful questions and to think critically about the work we do. Outside of work, I'm a founding member of the youth leadership team at a local community organization where I facilitate a monthly discussion group for teens and young adults. When I’m not working or volunteering, I’m often going to medieval reenactment events, practicing medieval sword-fighting, competing in armored combat tournaments, researching and performing early music, and spending time with my family.

Research
I partner with my clients to strategically plan and execute communications and meaningful engagement for large infrastructure projects and mega-programs. Anything from tunnel boring to bridge demolition. As a generalist at heart, I get to use a broad skill set in both soft and technical skills in my work at PRR, and I’m constantly learning. Personally, I care a lot about encouraging people to participate in local government. I once helped more than 750 people register to vote in one primary season. When I’m not at work, you can find me searching for the best places to eat in south/west Seattle, tending to my garden, and going on adventures with my partner, Mik, and my dog, Korra.

Community Engagement
My work at PRR helps amplify the voices of community members and creates opportunities for them to better understand and stay involved with projects that affect them. When I’m not working, I enjoy volunteering with the Seattle Animal Shelter where I serve as a foster parent for dogs. I’m a big animal person and feel proud to work with all the lovely dogs looking for homes. In my personal time, I love listening to music and curating the perfect playlist or spending time outside whenever we get a little bit of sun in Seattle!

As a Senior Research Coordinator at PRR, my business is telling stories. I leverage PRR's research and data landscape to build localized, participant-driven, evidence-based narratives that center the diversity and complexity of our local communities, that highlight our participants’ lived experiences, that resonate for a range of audiences, and that motivate actionable change. Issues surrounding equity and inclusion are the “guiding stars” that have anchored my professional development, and I’m delighted to bring that orientation to PRR, knowing that the work we do is helping to make our communities more inclusive, accessible, and dynamic. Outside of work, I help to direct an inclusive community theatre program at the Federal Way Community Center, coach bowling for Special Olympics, spend lots of time building community with queer and neurodivergent folks, and am deeply enthused about all things craft-adjacent (knitting; sewing; 3D printing; papercraft; sublimation).

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.”
