KAREN,

I recently moved to the NYC area from Austin, Texas.
I am excited to start my career in the urban planning field

of the city that never sleeps, shaping the best possible future
with lively, engaged, & resilient New Yorkers.

My Professional Research report was a study on Millennial
engagement within public outreach processes.
I graduated from Syracuse University in 2013 with a BA in Political
Science & a Landscape Architecture minor.
Currently, I work at an entertainment
start-up company in Tribeca as the house coordinator.
​

"Cities have the capability
of providing something for
everybody, only because,

created by everybody."
