Hello! My name is Carolyn BirkenfeldThis website features a compilation of my academic, professional, and personal experiences throughout my undergraduate college career. My time as a student at the University of Washington has given me a wonderful opportunity to explore my interests in urban planning and community development, while challenging myself to discover my own potential through new experiences, leadership, and athletics.
Through my studies and endeavors, I have developed a particular interest in the nature of urban environments and their potential to become centers of sustainable, healthy, and equitable living. As a Seattle native, I have the perspective of growing up in a rapidly expanding metropolitan environment that has motivated me to learn more about how we can leverage this growth to create a better life for all. I believe there is a remarkable potential within networks of mobility and active transportation that can support an economic and healthful urban experience. After graduating from the University of Washington in June 2018, I am eager to redirect my energy toward a new commitment and make a difference in my community. |
