I am a MT licensed professional engineer with over 10 yrs of experience including working for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) in construction & road design, the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) doing applied research on multimodal transportation, and now as a transportation engineering consultant for municipalities around Montana. I am offering my knowledge and experience to the Gallatin Valley MPO during this exciting time of charting our community's transportation future. * The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. I've read industry articles and attended technical sessions at conferences (APBP & TRB) on DEI initiatives in transportation. I presented at JEC and continually advocate for using human-centered design thinking in developing transportation policies, programs, & projects. This philosophy results in a better understanding of the end users' needs rather than basing solutions on my own assumptions or biases. I believe this approach results in more equitable and inclusive transportation systems.
