Livable City Year Report |
Port of Seattle Blog Posts |
I was a researcher and report writer for Livable City Year, a program that partners University of Washington students with a City each year to work on relevant, real projects. My project involved developing outreach strategies to help the Neighborhood Planning Department better engage with generations X, Y, and Z in the community.

During my internship experience I had the opportunity to write two articles for the Port of Seattle's blog. My first blog post is about a community tree planting event I coordinated as a form of engagement for the environmental department. The second post runs readers through my typical day as an environmental intern at SeaTac Airport. Both give a peek into some of the exciting things I did during my internship and are writing samples that show my ability to communicate with the general public.

GIS Suitability Analysis |
Digital Skills Proficiency (DSP) Policy |
In a real estate course I learned to use the ESRI ArcMap Pro GIS software to do a suitability analysis. The purpose of my project was to determine the best location for a new private outdoor swimming club in the Seattle area. I selected several datasets, merged them with census tracts, weighted the data, mapped them, and then ran an analysis to determine the best site. Presentation below includes the maps I created for the analysis.

I was in CEP's policy committee, called Headlights because it's all about looking ahead, for all of my 6 quarters in the major. While in Headlights I worked on a digital skills course requirement policy, called DSP. The policy passed in Spring 2019 after 2 years of research, collaboration, consultation, surveys, presentations, and revisions. My peers and I dedicated an estimated 350 hours to DSP over 2 years. See below for our final presentation and policy.
