Community Engagement Specialist
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.
People are at the heart of our work, and we have some really great people.

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.”
