Cait joined the TREC team in fall 2017 with an extensive background in event planning and strategic communications for green building policy and design. An avid biker and long-time volunteer with Oregon Walks, she is excited to tackle the dissemination of the center's progressive portfolio of transportation research on mobility. Storytelling is a critical piece to moving research from the theoretical realm to practical application, and Portland is the perfect landscape for this "living laboratory." Off-hours she spends with her time with Tomato the Dog, tending to her 72 house plants, or advocating for more equitable infrastructure in Portland.
