Ph.D. Candidate, University of Cincinnati, School of Planning

I began the Ph.D. in Regional Planning Program at the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning in 2018, studying advanced planning theory, urban and regional theories, cutting-edge research, and planning practice, completing all aspects of the program. Few may recognize that the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program spearheaded the development of green technologies in US housing, with green building practices becoming increasingly integrated into LIHTC project design and implementation beginning in the early 1990s. My research will explore the central research question: Does living in housing developed with ecologically sustainable features improve the quality of life for residents of LIHTC developments?
