Public Involvement & Community Engagement
Alton Baker Park Master Plan | City of Eugene (In Progress)
Facilitating inclusive public engagement initiatives for long-range park planning through community focus groups, public presentations, and guiding park tours to ensure broad and accessible community input.
Urban Growth Strategies (UGS) | City of Eugene
Facilitated bilingual community dialogue to ensure diverse resident perspectives informed city planning. I led listening sessions focused on neighborhood housing needs and hosted middle housing walking tours and community discussions around urban densification.
Food for All Oregonians (FFAO) | Oregon Food Bank (Ongoing)
Empowered community members to provide testimony about experiences with food insecurity, the needs of the community, and to connect with their legislature. I help build partnerships with other organizations across non-profit, grassroots, government, and education sectors.
Oregon COVID Farmworker Study | University of Oregon
Conducted culturally competent qualitative research with vulnerable agricultural worker populations during the COVID-19 public health crisis that included bilingual outreach, in-depth interviews, and qualitative data analysis for a statewide collaborative research effort. The community involvement in this research helped identify urgent resource gaps during a major public health crisis.
