Meet the Cabinet

I have always believed that the strength of a community is found in the diversity of its voices - enabling these voices to be heard through community engagement is path critical for us as we seek to solve problems and move our county forward.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. - Marianne Williamson

It has always fascinated and inspired me when I’m able to partner with the community on developing plans and strategies for transformational transportation infrastructure, especially multimodal investments. Helping the community connect the dots to better understand the full extent of benefits and impacts transportation can have on the environment, economy, congestion-relief, and healthy communities embodies my definition of service to the community.
