Elizabeth manages the Great Communities Collaborative - a multi-sector initiative engaging philantropy, non-profits advocates, technical experts, and basebuilding organizing, and the public sector, to move toward a more equitable and sustainable Bay Area where communities are engaged in shaping their own future. Before coming to TSFF, Elizabeth worked for Reconnecting America where she was deeply engaged in transit and TOD-focused technical assistance projects at the regional and the corridor scale in the San Francisco Bay Area, Denver, Los Angeles and Twin Cities. Prior to Reconnecting America, Elizabeth worked on the southwest side of Chicago with local nonprofits on pressing community development issues. She attended the University of Chicago as an undergraduate, and received a Masters of City Planning from the University of California at Berkeley.
