My hometown is Boulder, Colorado. Though it's small with a population of just 100k, isolated smack in the middle of the United States, I think it's a pretty good spot. We've got the Rocky Mountains out our back door and 300 plus days of sunshine a year. At other moments I've resided in Vancouver, Canada; Graz, Austria; and La Esperanza, Honduras. Now, home is Ithaca, NY.

After nearly three years learning about the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors as a researcher for The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County, I am in graduate school studying for a Master's of Regional Planning at Cornell University.

My current interests within the field of planning are land-use, economic development, real estate and housing. Of particular interest are spheres where private development interests overlap with public and not for profit initiatives.

My projected graduation is spring 2014.
