The Birth of a Career

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Urban Studies Program where I studied policy and planning, and developed an interest in law. I was fascinated by how cities functioned, how people came together and built communities and how good leadership, operations and public integrity were distinguishing factors in how some cities worked much better than others.
