Vision Statement:
With over 25 years of experience collaborating with architects, engineers, contractors, and leading an industry nonprofit organization, I am confident in my ability to drive SCUP’s strategic plan forward while fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. My goal is to empower SCUP members to excel in integrated planning. A key element in expanding and advancing integrated planning is nurturing SCUP’s culture of continuous learning. I will leverage my professional network and actively engage with the SCUP community to organize and execute impactful events, programs, and conferences that deliver compelling content.

I am deeply committed to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within the SCUP community. I will champion SCUP’s learning-centric values by supporting continuous education and ensuring that diverse learner journeys are recognized and that all members have equitable access to the resources necessary for their professional growth and institutional development.

Through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a focus on continuous improvement, I will help SCUP members build resilient, agile institutions capable of tackling future challenges. Together, we will foster a sustainable approach to planning that drives institutional transformation and inspires a realistic, achievable future.
