In my free time I enjoy listening to classic rock music, collecting vinyl, CD’s, and various rock memorabilia, attending concerts, collecting antique maps of where I grew up in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State and the town where I live near Charlotte, long-distance running, playing the trumpet, and spending time with my American-English Coonhound Maisie! I hope to further grow my knowledge of Geography and Planning in order to prepare myself to enter the workforce as a candidate for becoming a Planner! This included issuing various permits to residents, assisting residents with various planning-related issues over the phone or email, creating maps with GIS, and assisting new residential development that was being built in the town. For my second year interning at the town, I focused on the day-to-day side of planning. For my first internship, my primary tasks and duties were assisting one of the Senior Planners with updating the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). I have returned to Appalachian State University this Fall semester in order to attain my Master’s degree in Geography with a concentration in Planning through the Accelerated Admission Master’s program.įor two summers in a row, I held a Planning Intern position at the Town of Indian Trail.
