Laura believes that centering the user experience is critical for designing more livable, democratic, and functional streets. As a member of the multimodal team in Nelson\Nygaard’s Boston office, she brings skills in travel demand modeling, GIS, data analytics, and public engagement to projects across sectors, including Emerging Mobility, Parking and Demand Management, and Transit. Laura’s experience in commuter choice modeling, network analysis, curbside management, and transportation demand management allow her to design tools and narratives that shift commuters away from driving modes and help cities and developers meet their sustainable transportation goals. Prior to joining Nelson\Nygaard, Laura worked for three years on engineering projects in Houston, TX. While in graduate school, her research focused on designing and implementing child-friendly interventions in public spaces.
