    I am a Senior Transportation Planning Engineer with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) located in Winooski, VT. The mission of the CCRPC is to act as the principal forum for planning, policy and community development in Chittenden County, VT. I began working for the CCRPC after completing the 3+2 Civil Engineering program with UVM. My day-to-day work can be broadly categorized under the fields of traffic engineering and transportation planning. I earned my professional engineer’s license in 2012 and a professional transportation planner certification in 2018.

    I often credit the education I received at Saint Michael’s College as being a critical piece to my success in the working world. The liberal arts foundation enabled me to develop strong written and verbal communication skills that I might’ve missed out on in a traditional engineering curriculum. These are skills I use daily to convey and break down the technical aspects of traffic engineering so that the general public can understand. I am forever grateful for the life-long friendships and education received at SMC!
