Hi, I'm Collyn.
I'm an urban planner, project manager, and community builder. My work focuses on implementing urban infrastructure that adapts us to the needs of a changing climate. I have 8+ years of experience delivering renewable energy, transportation decarbonization, and climate resilience projects. I am justice-driven, utilizing data, design, and practice rooted in community to create more connected and transformative urban spaces. I received my Masters of City Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Bachelor of Science from the University of British Columbia.
