I was born and raised in a low-income home in the City of Pittsburgh and am an avid consumer of any research related to poverty, neighborhoods and racial gaps. I currently work for the local government and conduct data analysis, geospatial analysis and research at the intersection of place, affordable housing and program evaluation.
I have a Master of Science in Public Policy and Management from the Heinz College of Information Technology and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon and a Bachelor of Science in Research Psychology with a minor in Philosophy from Wheeling Jesuit University. I love walks. I play in a local emotive indie rock band. And Pittsburgh will always be my first love.
