About

I am an experienced urban planner with a strong background in historic preservation, zoning review, and urban design. With over six years of professional experience in various cities across the United States, I specialize in reviewing and managing Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) applications, guiding projects through compliance with local zoning ordinances, and working closely with historic preservation commissions.

My career journey includes roles as Urban Planner III for the City of Atlanta, where I handled complex COA applications for new constructions, alterations, and variances within Historic and Landmark Districts. I also served as Assistant Planning Director in Michigan City, where I led efforts on current planning responsibilities, managed façade grant applications, and facilitated development projects. My expertise extends to Section 106 reviews, design review, policy and code evaluation, and supervising interns and special projects.

I hold a Master of Urban Planning degree with an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation from the University at Buffalo – SUNY and am a certified planner through the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). My passion lies in preserving the historic character of communities while fostering sustainable urban development, ensuring growth with quality development for residents, business owners, and property owners.
