Community Food System Mapping Project (2024)
As part of my dissertation “Toward an Urban Food Commons: Participatory Action Research on Food Apartheid and Community-Based Agrifood System Governance in Louisville, KY” (2024), I developed the Louisville Community Food System Mapping Project, which highlights agrifood resources, maps systemic inequities, and integrates lived experiences into spatial analysis to support advocacy and policy change.

Metropolitan Housing Coalition
Loan Program Impact Report (2025)
I led a mixed-methods impact assessment of the Metropolitan Housing Coalition’s Nonprofit Housing Loan Program, reconstructing nearly 30 years of activity after institutional memory had become dispersed. Through archival data recovery, quantitative analysis, interviews, and GIS mapping, I documented how flexible, mission-driven loans supported ~3,000 affordable homes, housed ~7,000 residents, leveraged $325M+ in development capital, and achieved a 98% repayment rate. The project produced an impact report, digital data archive, and strategic recommendations to guide a program relaunch.
