About Me

The first 20 years of my life were spent in a manufacturing town along the Ohio-Indiana border; it offered a homogenous lifestyle that my grandparents lived, as well as their grandparents before them. Heading for the nearest city, Dayton, Ohio, I became the first in my family to move out of our rural town. Quickly, my mind and heart filled with the diversity of the city: the architecture, the people, and the art. My first urban passions were street art and breweries; both represented community and creativity. While traveling, I set out to understand the uniqueness in every city, with street art and breweries filling my itineraries. After years of visiting different cities, I went back to school and graduated with an associate’s degree in Geography at Sinclair Community College. In the fall of 2018, I began the next step in my career: studying Urban Planning at the University of Cincinnati. The decision to pursue urban planning came from my experience with community development and researching human geography. Urban planning offers an interdisciplinary education, adding political science, economics, ecology, and land-use studies to my existing skills. It will provide a platform for me to work with communities and implement ideas.

St r e e t A rt D i s t ri ct Location: Dayton, Ohio Project: Map Dayton, Sinclair Community College Goal: Locate art murals along the 3rd and 5th Street corridors, and identify the relation to vacant and commerical uses. Method: Put on comfortable shoes and walk the scope area, taking notes on the locations of murals, vacant buildings, and local restaurants and shops. Each art mural was mapped with ArcMap by creating a new point class. Both vacant and commercial businesses were mapped by selecting the structure from a building shapefile and saved as a new layer. A 500-foot buffer was geo-referenced and applied to each art mural. Results: The art murals do not impact vacancy and commercial activity, but art murals are encouraged in economically successful areas in Dayton.

Gem City Market is a food co-op organized, developed, funded, and run by the community of Dayton. The citizens in West Dayton researched, studied, and communicated their concerns of not having access to fresh and healthy food options. In 2017, the organization began collecting shares of $100 from any citizen intereseted in becoming a member and collaborative owner of a new health-centric market. Local private corporations have also donated to the cause. The market is set to break ground in 2019 and open their doors in 2020.

Re d l in ing Fa ct ors Location: Dayton, Ohio Project: Map Dayton, Sinclair Community College Goal: Redigitize the residential security map for the city of Dayton and map the factors which determined the grades. The grades are important because they largely influenced decisions made in the underwritten manual. The manual determined the financial risk and desireability of investment for mortgages and housing loans from 1936-1968. The Zones graded D or lined with red were considered the highest risk and least desireable, and the residents received minimal investment from the banks. Method: Using ArcMap, the original residential security map was geo-referenced with the most recent Great Maimi River shapefile. A feature class for each graded zone was created and redrawn onto present-day Dayton. The 47 Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) canvassing documents were downloaded and transferred into an Excel spreadsheet and joined with the correlating zone. Results: Many factors determined the grade of each zone, including: terrain, parks, institutions, odors, noise level, labor type, buildings, occupancy, and construction. A routine pattern did not appear, but the factors with the largest impacts were ethnicity, household income, and home values.

The documents reported the “detrimental influence” in the grading of zone C12 was “the need to travel through a colored section to get to it”. The adjacent vicinity of Black Americans was viewed as a detriment for a White American zone with high income and average housing values.

Ev i c t ion Pro ject Project: Map Dayton, Advocates for Basic Legal Equality

Location: Dayton, Ohio Goal: Reseach and analyze Montgomery County eviction data (2012-2017) and create an index predicting which census tracts would have the most eviction filings in 2018.

Method: Obtain eviction data from county public records. Organize and prepare data for ESRI ArcMap. Create Montgomery County address locator and connect with dataset to generate a Point shapefile for each eviction. Download Census and American Community Survey data; organize and prepare. Create maps using ESRI ArcMap. Calculate the rent burden percentage of each census tract: multipling the median monthly rent by 12 months, then dividing by the annual family income. To form the eviction predictor indicator, each metric normalized or inverse-normalized and weighted to 25% and given an accumulative score.

Results: High Eviction Filing (HEF; more than 400 eviction filings from 2012-2017) census tracts tend to have lower value properties, disproportionate monthly rents, and lower incomes. Data Source: Montgomery County eviction data (20122017) and American Community Survey 2015- estimates.

I n t i ma te Mappi ng Location: University of Cincinnati (UC), Ohio

Project: Studio Project, University of Cincinnati

Method: Create map of campus with ESRI ArcMap and walk campus. Twelve open spaces were choosen, and measurements and notes collected. Three spaces were hand-drawn in perspective view; every space hand-drawn in plan view. On ArcMap, the tree canopy shapefile was selected and calculated in square footage. Using an architecture scale, each pathway and edge distance were measured. The three metrics were normalized and weighted for each space to form the intimacy indicator.

Synopsis: Explores public spaces on University of Cincinnati campus, measuring the comfort, privacy, and aesthetics. The sense of intimacy students feel towards campus spaces influence their use and experience.

Measurements: Comfort: edge density, Privacy: amount of pathways, aesthetics: tree canopy coverage.

Goal: To create an indicator for intimacy of open spaces on UC campus by quantifying qualitative metrics.

Results: The most intimate spaces on campus had a balance of good tree canopy coverage, low pathway access, and dense building edges. The best way to increase intimacy of spaces were to increase the coverage of tree canopy.

The nodal intersection on campus is a vast opening, offering many pathway options and evenly distributed tree canopy. The edges are defined by buildings, wide pathways, and trees.

The minor quadrant has building edges and few pathways. The narrow opening includes low tree density; however, it is evenly distributed.

The central link on campus offers one primary path defined by its topopgraphy and the edges of buildings. Tree canopy is minimal and poorly distributed in the slim opening.

An additional 136ft² in Tree Canopy increases the intimacy of the space, moving the index score to 8.40, ahead of two other spaces and out of the bottom three.

Adding 150ft² strategically along the pathways increases the Tree Canopy and decreases the Edge Distance. These actions move the space out of the bottom three and up three spots in the index with a score of .814.

Create overview of analysis that details and supports the opportunties and issues our group researched. Run a SWOT analysis to futher study the strengths, weaknesses, opportunites, and threats. Create an overview of recommendations to assist in improving and activating the opportunities and issues. Create a project which benefits OTR and begins to solve a specfic opportunity or issue. Run a schematic process on project and develop the implementation. Goal: Activate vacant spaces in OTR, and provide a public laundry facility with services. Issue: OTR residents have no access to public laundry facilites or services. New and redeveloped units come equipped with washer and dryer connections; however, the majority remain outdated with no connections. The nearest laundry facility is 2.3 miles away: a 10 minute drive (for residents with access to a vehicle), a 28 minute bus ride, or a 41 minute walk. Results: A plan that activates seven vacant locations in OTR and gives equal access to a laundry facility with services for residents.

The proposal begins improving identity, accessibility, development, and vacancy, addressing the lack of access to a public laundry facility for residents in outdated units. The proposed plan forms a community-owned cooperative (co-op) in OTR for the funding. All residents have the opportunity to become members and buy into the co-op at the same cost, giving equal ownership to residents of the community.

Gu a tema l a Pro ject Location: San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala Project: High-Efficiency Wood Burning Stoves, Transformational Journeys Goal: Work with a Mayan community in rural Guatemala to develop new wood burning stoves to prevent health issues. Method: Arrive and settle in village. Walk the area and meet residents. Held community meetings to hear the stories of residents stuggles with health issues. Prior to our arrival, the organization stuied the issue of lung cancer by request of the village. The dwelling units were single room structures with one to two windows max. Each unit had a wood burning stove with no ventilation. The source of lung cancer was the infrastructure. Plans were developed during community meetings for: new sustainable and efficient stove, source of local materials, hiring of local masons, and distribution of sites. Results: In three weeks we designed, sourced materials locally, hired eight Mayan masons, and built high-efficient wood burning stoves in 21 units. After two-years, the project is still building stoves in San Lucas Toliman and surrounding villages. The project is now a non-profit and has employed over 30 Mayan masons. Due to inadequate sources of medical records quanitative data on lung cancer deaths is difficult to determine. The residents continue to demand the production of the stoves and notice health benefits related.

Ref lect ion

Over the last three years, I have worked alongside incredible people within the city of Dayton and internationally. My first community involvement was with West Dayton Strong and United Way: Hall Hunger Initiative; researching food access within the neighborhoods of West Dayton, the work helped in determining the location for the four million dollar food co-op opening in 2020. Next, I began volunteering with the DeSoto Bass community in Dayton, implementing an after-school program to provide educational and productive activities for children. Then, last March, I studied abroad with an organization called Transformational Journeys. We worked with a Mayan community in Guatemala to implement fuel-effiencient stoves, sourcing all materials and labor from within the community. My passion for art and community is driven by urban environments and grows with my education in urban planning. Working with marginalized populations to plan sustainable development is my interest; to me, that means increasing access to resources derived from their needs. Studying Geography and GIS has added the tools for researching spatial areas, and sets me apart from other urban planners. My research to this point focuses on structural discrimination, e.g.,redlining, eviction predictor index, sacrificial zones, and food deserts. Urban planning provides the platform to work with communities and implement their ideas.
