Teresa has been in planning offices for a decade and is fascinated by all the ways a community can be supported and the intersectionality of these systems. Teresa has worked at many levels of government from local zoning and comprehensive planning, to regional transportation planning, to state-wide affordable housing efforts and is eager to continue supporting communities in new and unique ways.

Teresa is dedicated to crafting custom solutions for and with communities to ensure sustainability and effectiveness, pulling from her wide-range of planning experiences and skill sets. For Teresa, it is vital that communities feel empowered by the planning process rather than stifled. This means transparency in decision-making, translating complex analysis into easy-to-understand discussion points, frequent and effective outreach, and proactive efforts to protect and lift those who have historically been left out.
