Education: BA Geography, San Diego State University
Occupation: City Planner
Planners help communities plan for growth which means we help guide land use that meets the communities vision while protecting the environment. " A planner partners with communities to help them become wonderful places to live, work, grow up, and play. They help decide what kinds of buildings should go where, where new parks might be needed, and what areas in the community are in need of changes to make them better places to be.
A planner can do anything from interpreting a community's zoning code, determining what kinds of buildings are allowed in what places, and helping a community create a vision for what it wants to become, to reaching out to and educating community leaders on what can make their community better."
