Please state reasons why you want to become a meni>er of thi.s Board/Comnsslon/Cormittee , including what specific objectives you \\Otdd be wor1<ing t011181'd as a meni>er of this advisory board:
I am inlerested in joining the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) because I want to apply my professional skills and personal interests to help enhance safety and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians in Santa Clara. /J.s an avid hiker, I have a firsthand appreciation for the importance or safe and convenient pedestrian facilities and infrastructure.
My background as a Senior Engineering Manager at Google provides stron@ analytical and problem-solving capabilities relevant to evaluating infrastructure design. safety considerations, and connectivity issues for bike and pedestrian networks. Additionally. my Master's degree in Conmct Resolution and experience as a trained mediator can be valuable in navigating discussions around facility planning, addressing diverse user needs, and finding cornroon ground when advising the City Council.
My specific objectives as a member of the BPAC would be lo:
+ Contribute to recomrendations that prioritize safe, convenient, and well-designed bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout the city.
+ Utilize my analytical skills to thoroughly review proposals and data related to bike/pedestrian projects and safety initiatives.
+ Support the conmittee's goal of encouraging recreational and comroter cycling and walking by advocating for user- friendly infrastructure improvements.
+ Help foster construclive dialogue among comnittee rrembers and stakeholders to develop effective advice for the City Council.
/lny other infonmtlon which )'0ll feel v.ould be useful to the City Council in reviewing )'OU!' application:
Beyond my direct interest in pedestrian and cyclist needs, my professional experience as a Senior Engineering Manager involves leading tearrs and analyzin~ complex systems, which I believe is relevant to evaluating infrastructure plans within the broader context of the city s transportation network.
My educational backsround is somewhat unique, combining technical engineering degrees with a Master's in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. This blend equips ma to understand not only the technical aspects of facility design but also lhe human factors and community dynamcs crucial for successful bike and pedestrian initiatives. My informal training as a mediator complements this, offering practical process skills for conmlttee work. My local engagement, such as through the Santa Clara Valley Birding Alliance, also gives me familiarity with various parts of the city from a pedestrian viewpoint.

I am a cyclisl in the City of Santa Clara and when I utilize the bicycle infrastructure in the Cily I frequently think about how I could be better served on rrrJ different routes. I also hear from fellow residents who would prefer not to have rmre bicycle infrastructure and would like an opportunity to advocate for rmre safe and effective routes throughout the City. I have experience in planning and project managerrent and understand the importance of public participation in this process. My goals if I got onto the commission would be to provide thoughtful consideration to bicycle and pedestrian projects to ensure that the funds allocated to these projects are properly spent. I also want to inerease safety for bicyclists in less served portions of the City and irrprove walkability for maior gathering areas. Finally. I would like to find I better ways to integrate transit and bicycle/pedestrian options to help incenlivfze less reliance on cars for City residents.
My other infonnation v.tiich you feel v,ould be useful to the City Council in reviewing )OUr application: -------- 1 am an environmental planner with experience in City process and CEQA analysis. I understand the role of an advisory committee and would use this experience to read and review any materials provided to me to form opinions on items brought to the commission.
