In 2016, I created a map of the Los Angeles MetroRail and "expanded" the map to show the dreams of what our system could look like if the sales tax measure slated to be on the ballot would pass that Fall. I placed my image in tandem with the current network and created a "blinking gif." That gif went viral! It was written up in local newspapers and I was even interviewed by NPR in regards to the traction it was seeing. Once that sales tax measure passed, I was contacted by the then Mayor's office and asked if I'd be interested in a potential job with them. Having _just_ started on a hit television show, I turned them down... Over the next four years I learned many lessons about life and the world around me, and after all that I still ended up working in transit! Some things truly are just meant to be.

EXPANDING TRANSIT! It is my number one passion, let's be honest. I truly believe there are so many social causes that are remedied by social programs, and the ability to expand those programs begins and ends with transit. I believe wealth inequality is the greatest plague to mankind, and providing access to jobs and culture to all can physically bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
