[Bio] - [Urban Analytics] - `[Advocacy]` - [Education]

Since moving to Philadelphia in Fall 2021, I have been an active member of the urbanist advocacy community. I quickly got involved with 5th Square, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, and Wednesday Night Rides, using the mapping skills I learned in undergrad for social media posts and to do analysis for other volunteers. Through these organizations I have learned much about the city, its infrastructure and politics, and want to use this knowledge in making Philadelphia a biking and transit paradise.

As a Masters student, I was the Student Council representative for the MUSA program and I started the social bike ride club at the Weitzman School of Design.

Last spring, I led a Wednesday Night Ride and was joined by mayoral candidate Rebecca Rhynhart.

Recently, I have been active with the newly formed Philly Bike Action!, where I lead the coding team, manage the Discord server, and organize District 5 meetings.

Hi! We're bike safety advocates for immediate change within Philadelphia city limits.

We fight for all current and future bike riders.

We demand a safe, useable, and interconnected network of *protected* bike paths in Philly.

We organize on Discord and at in-person meetups. pic.twitter.com/nKJKTGwf7h
