Guiding transportation elements of development review and land use planning to ensure new growth supports community goals and multimodal mobility.
Managing the Division's operating and capital budgets and coordinating funding strategies with local, state, regional, and federal partners.
Coordinating closely with regional transportation agencies and partners, including DASH, WMATA, VDOT, MWCOG, NVTC, DRPT, and other regional organizations.
Representing the City on regional committees, technical working groups, legislative initiatives, and transportation policy discussions.
Collaborating across City departments to align transportation investments with broader community goals related to housing, economic development, sustainability, public health, and equity.
Overseeing consultant contracts, grant applications, project development efforts, and transportation planning studies.
Helping advance major capital projects from concept through implementation while balancing technical analysis, community input, and policy objectives.
Communicating complex transportation issues clearly and effectively to elected officials, community members, stakeholders, and partner agencies.

What Success Looks Like

The ability to balance strategic thinking with day-to-day execution.
Communicates well with technical and non-technical audiences.
Political awareness and sound judgment.
A collaborative approach to problem solving and relationship building.
Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to continuously learn and adapt.
The ability to navigate complex transportation, land use, and policy issues while maintaining focus on community outcomes.
