Blogging Redux

I wrote my first and final blog three years ago. Here is what I originally said:

Brave New Blog

It is amazing what two years in a graduate school program will do to a person's creativity. I spent two years either in preparing for graduate school or taking classes in graduate school. My area of study was Land Use and Sustainability. I graduated Friday May 13, 2005.

My background includes a BA in Biology-Chemistry from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin (1987) and 14 years as a Realtor. I became interested in City and Regional Planning after moving to Greensboro during the summer of 2000.

I was extremely active in the creation of the Greensboro Comprehensive Plan, Connections 2025 . I was a frequent contributor to the "Second Opinion" column in the Greensboro News and Record, and will be getting back to submitting articles in short order. I became recognizable in the community as a result of these columns, and increased my visibility through my contributions to The News and Record's "Public Pulse" feature.

It is my hope that this web blog will foster discussions regarding sustainable development in Greensboro and abroad. Further, I hope to provide a forum to discuss the implications and benefits of regional planning, especially with respect to recovery efforts from recent natural disasters.
