Placement: Controller’s Office – City Services Auditor

What I Worked On: I completed a project tracking the course a citation takes from being issued by a police officer to the citation’s final disposition in or out of court. I also worked on a project with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to conduct a peer review of other transportation agencies across the U.S. in order to gather information about customer amenities such as lights, benches, shelters, poles and signs located at transit stops. This peer review assisted in developing a customer amenities guideline in San Francisco.

Why San Francisco is important to me: The vibrant street life, mix of cultures and diverse use of urban space attracted me to San Francisco as an undergraduate. Since then I have become fascinated with the policies and decisions that have contributed to the development of San Francisco as not only a vibrant city, but a progressive city that leads the way in local government strategies and implementation. I hope to contribute to the high level of progress and innovation in the future with City Hall Fellows.
