Meet the Team

PRESIDENT

After attending her first Transport Chicago as a graduate student at UIC, Lucy is thrilled to grow in her involvement with the conference and serve as this year's president. Lucy thrives at the intersection of the technical and human sides of transportation planning, which she's lucky to explore both through Transport Chicago and as a project manager at HNTB. When not at the conference, you can find her gazing out a bus window, watching kpop music videos, and thinking about what to get for lunch.
