About

I am an Assistant Professor of Public Administration at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Before pursuing an academic career in public administration, I spent nearly a decade working in urban and regional planning and community development and several years teaching urban planning. That interdisciplinary experience continues to shape how I think about public institutions, communities, and place.
