Strategic Rideshare Partner Diamond-level Uber Driver Urban Research
Feb 2020 — Present · Fort Lauderdale, FL, US
More Than Just a Ride – Using Rideshare to Understand Urban Mobility & Housing ChallengesWhat began as a way to offset travel expenses for my My Medicine Consulting patients evolved into a critical financial pivot during the COVID-19 shutdown. Over the past five years, I have transformed rideshare into a strategic business tool, gathering real-world data on transportation trends, commuter behavior, and urban infrastructure challenges. Entrepreneurial Pivot & Essential Worker Role Launched in Feb 2020 to reduce costs for patient travel. Became a financial lifeline during the COVID-19 shutdown, allowing continued advocacy work while adapting to economic shifts. Developed high-level expertise in urban mobility, transportation gaps, and city planning inefficiencies. Urban Research & Data-Driven City Planning Insights Engaged in thousands of conversations with commuters, business owners, investors, and policymakers about transportation, housing, and infrastructure. Firsthand exposure to South Florida’s transportation challenges, directly influencing the launch of ReZone Strategies. Documented trends in housing affordability, car ownership decline, insurance costs, and zoning limitations. Diamond-Level Uber Driver | Top 2% Performance Earned Uber Diamond status, ranking in the top 2% of drivers nationwide. Provided 5-star rated service, focusing on efficiency, professionalism, and commuter experience. Maintained a flawless driving record with no tickets or accidents, even on South Florida’s high-traffic highways—reinforcing my commitment to safety, precision, and responsible decision-making. This role has been instrumental in shaping my urban planning expertise, directly fueling the creation of ReZone Strategies.
