I grew up in a car dependent small town in Connecticut. I was never able to walk or bike anywhere outside our cul-de-sac, the nearest transit service was 2 towns over. I moved to Boston in 2021, without a car. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the MBTA and transit in general. I decided to leave my former love of cars behind and live car free, and I’ve never looked back.

When the MBTA cut service in 2022, I quickly discovered not only how important transit had become to me, but to everyone around Boston. I wanted to find a way to help improve things, and so I started contributing to TransitMatters labs projects. I joined as an official volunteer not long after, and have been actively involved ever since.

When I’m not writing code I’m homebrewing mead and taking photographs.
