“Working with Anita is a deeply rewarding experience. As an urban planner, she brings a genuine respect for community interest, a textured understanding of history and context, and a focus on equity. As a leader, Anita exhibits the rare qualities of compassion and empathy that make her work not merely competent but emotionally resonant. I have learned a great deal from Anita and know that others will as well.”

I leave every meeting with Anita inspired and energized to better serve my communities—across geographies, disciplines and missions.”
