I was the primary associate in the Muckleshoot Tribe's Comprehensive Planning process, helping to drive the project forward. One of my main responsibilities was writing the first draft of several important chapters, including Housing, Transportation, Cultural Preservation, Environment, and Introduction. I also created engaging materials like slide decks, website content, and summary reports to help get the community involved. To make sure the plan truly reflected the community's needs and values, I incorporated feedback and ideas from community members into the chapters and policies. 

I delved deeply into the data to analyze the housing situation, seeking trends, needs, and opportunities that could inform effective housing policies and strategies. Throughout the process, I took detailed notes and created visual aids to help facilitate in-person discussions. 

As one of two core associates on this project, I played a crucial role in shaping the City of Kent's Comprehensive Plan. My responsibilities included drafting key chapters, such as Public Facilities, Intro Narrative, and Housing, to ensure that the plan reflected the city's unique needs and goals. I also conducted a thorough policy audit to review and update the city's policies, ensuring that they were equitable, aligned with regional requirements, and supported the overall vision of the comprehensive plan.

Additionally, I spearheaded the launch of our community survey on the digital platform, Consider.it, published reports, and created project development handouts to explain the project's goals, objectives, and progress to the community, increasing transparency, engagement, and participation in the planning process. 

As a core associate on the City of Monroe's Comprehensive Plan, I drafted key chapters, conducted a policy audit, and contributed to the development of a unique community engagement tool - a Comprehensive Plan board game. This interactive game allowed community members to explore the city's goals and objectives in a fun and engaging way. I also facilitated engagement activities throughout the city, including community events and council meetings, to gather feedback and input from residents and stakeholders.  

As a supplementary associate for the Comprehensive Plan project, my primary responsibilities included creating social media toolkits to promote the project's launch, designing engaging website content, and developing graphic art to support the plan's visual identity. I also had the opportunity to design and create the Bellingham Game, a unique and interactive tool associated with the Comprehensive Plan. 

As a supplementary associate, I supported the launch of digital surveys and mapping surveys, which gathered valuable feedback from the community on the Comprehensive Plan. Throughout the process, I was involved in the creation of phase reports, providing regular updates on the plan's progress. I also developed social media toolkits to promote the project and encourage community engagement, helping to ensure that the community's voice was heard and their input was incorporated into the plan. 

My team and I collaborated with the Washington State Department of Commerce during the Definition Phase of the climate model program they were initiating. A model city or tribe can use as a template or foundation as they update their Comprehensive Plan.

Our team was tasked with analyzing the previously developed standards, providing a comprehensive prioritization recommendation list, and conducting a thorough policy gap analysis of the drafts.

The City of Spokane is taking a proactive approach to sustainable transportation infrastructure by developing a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plan for Division Street, a major arterial with significant potential for future growth and development. As the primary associate on this project, I played a key role in shaping the community engagement process. My responsibilities included creating summary reports that distilled key insights and feedback from public outreach efforts, as well as developing an equitable engagement plan that will serve as a guiding framework for the project's duration. Additionally, I managed the project website's content and other relevant materials, ensuring that stakeholders and the broader community had access to timely and accurate information about the project's progress and goals. 

As a supplementary associate, I played a key role in the development of a comprehensive housing needs assessment survey, which was available in both digital and paper formats. This in-depth survey, which took approximately 40 minutes to complete, was designed to gather critical data on housing trends, demographics, needs, and opportunities, providing valuable insights to inform future housing strategies.
