Safety has been at the center of my work for the residents of downtown Madison. As an undergraduate student at UW-Madison, I was the chair of PAVE and co-created coalitions, and advocated for increased resources to support survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence on campus. As a neighborhood association president, I have worked with the Isthmus Safety Initiative through Public Health Madison & Dane County to create community solutions to prevent sexual violence and support our housing-insecure neighbors by co-leading a community coalition to make resources safer to access in downtown Madison. With the projected growth of the population, we need to protect people by looking into the way we incentivize public safety through zoning spaces.
