Hello
Current Goals
I recently finished my PhD and am now working at Toole Design as a project planner.
I plan to continue my research in some capacity.
Send me an email if you want to chat.
PhD Research
My work is centered around vehicle dependency and its relation to transportation equity, place, and sustainable cities.

Molloy, Q., Garrick, N., & Atkinson-Palombo, C. (Accepted TRR 2024). Black households are more burdened by vehicle ownership than White households.

I have worked as both a teaching assistant and primary course instructor continuously for the last three years, usually in classes related to urban geography, sustainable development, or climate change. The 2023 Summer Sustainable Cities trip to Zurich stands out as a highlight.
I usually have a handful of speaking engagements annually on top of courses, invited guest lectures, and workshops.
