I am the Director of Policy Research at Lime, where I conduct and manage research to better understand micromobility. Examples of work I have led and contributed to include:

• Lime's 2018 and 2020 End-of-Year Reports.
• Surveys and data analyses like this white paper on COVID risks on shared mobility modes and this report on public perceptions about COVID and micromobility
• Academic collaborations, including a series of studies documenting how often scooters are misparked (the results might surprise you!), why riders mispark, and whether low-tech interventions (like in-app education or sidewalk stickers) can improve parking (ongoing).

I earned my PhD in Transportation Technology & Policy at UC Davis, where I gained experience designing surveys and other data collection methods as well as expertise in specifying customized statistical models. As a travel behavior researcher, I specialize in the study of bicyclist behavior and safety; the development of travel skills and attitudes; and parking behavior. I am fluent in the R and stan programming languages. 

​This website is focused on my academic work, mostly conducted at UC Davis, working with Prof. Susan Handy, and then for a year at Arizona State University as a post-doctoral scholar, working with Prof. Trisalyn Nelson.
