Hey, I’m Gennie.

Community-Centric Solutions
I prioritize the needs and voices of the communities I work with, ensuring that every project is built around the people it impacts. By collaborating with local governments, nonprofits, and community organizations, I drive sustainable change that reflects community aspirations.
My Approach
Using Data for Equitable Development

Asheville, NC
Mapping Spatial Racial Equity Project
Analyzed historical Sanborn fire insurance maps to assess the impact of urban renewal on African American neighborhoods. Utilizing ArcGIS Online, I documented the significant loss of homes and businesses acquired through eminent domain. This project visually preserves the historical context of these neighborhoods over time.
Project Examples
Shreveport, LA
Fiscal Health + Land Use + Redlining Analysis
Partnered with the City of Shreveport to analyze the fiscal impact of different land types. Our findings showed that dense areas generate more tax revenue per acre than sprawl, which often costs more to maintain. We shared these insights with the community to support sustainable growth aligned with Shreveport’s 2030 Master Plan.
Wimauma, FL
Fiscal Health + Economic Development Analysis
Evaluated proposed infrastructure investments like new commercial spaces, pedestrian pathways, and recreational facilities. The analysis guided the county’s approach to revitalizing Wimauma’s downtown, ensuring sustainable growth and enhanced local amenities to support long-term community prosperity.
