Personal Statement
My Design Trust fellowship, for Intermodal
Transfer at East 125th Street,
demonstrated the challenges of introducing
new ways of approaching transportation
improvements. The project’s goal
was to position me to inspire and facilitate
a dialogue among community leaders
and city agencies to form a partnership
that would result in creating intermodal
facilities. By including my students
as research assistants and outreach
coordinators, the Design Trust’s
mission reached a wider audience of
future planning and design professionals.
