I’m excited to introduce myself as the newly elected President of the Pearl District Neighborhood Association (PDNA). While I’ve been a resident of the Pearl District since 2022, my connection to this neighborhood dates back much further — I had the opportunity to work here during its early transformation from 2002 to 2004. Seeing its evolution over the years has given me a deep appreciation for the community’s growth, character, and potential. My passion for community engagement and advocacy led me to take on this role, and I’m looking forward to working alongside our dedicated board, residents, and local businesses to continue making the Pearl District a great place to live, work and visit. In the coming months, I hope to connect with more neighbors, hear your thoughts and concerns, and collaborate on initiatives that will enhance the livability and inclusivity of our district. Your voices matter, and I encourage everyone to get involved!
