My work focuses on guiding complex development approvals from concept to council, coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, and ensuring that client and community objectives align with municipal policy and technical requirements.Notable experience includes managing high-density infill and mixed-use rezonings, suburban outline plans, and municipal engagement processes.
