What do you love most about working for NABSA? 
I’m really excited to join the NABSA team and be part of the work to expand the micromobility options that make our cities more sustainable, connected, and livable. Micromobility options make a real difference in people’s daily lives and contribute to transportation systems that work for everyone, and I can’t wait to work with people who care about this mission as much as I do!

What experience or insight do you bring to your position with NABSA?
I bring a mix of hands-on implementation and policy and advocacy experience to NABSA. I’ve had the opportunity to work directly with municipalities as they’ve navigated implementing bikeshare and scootershare programs and helped write successful federal funding requests that include significant investments in bike infrastructure. I’ve also created and implemented advocacy strategies and worked closely with lawmakers to shape policy outcomes to support more sustainable and welcoming communities.
