</p><p>Kirsten Jones (M.A. ’16)
is a Leadership Fellow at The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a
special district government that builds, operates, and maintains critical
transportation and trade assets. Its network of aviation, rail, surface
transportation and seaport facilities annually moves millions of people and
transports vital cargo throughout the New York/New Jersey region. Kirsten works
on a rotational basis within four departments, including Finance, Planning,
Facilities, and Human Resources, to complete projects. She conducts research,
writes analysis, and contributes to the development of policy recommendations
designed to strengthen transportation and trade within the New York and New
Jersey region. </p><p>Prior to joining The Port
Authority, Kirsten was a research assistant at the Institute for Public
Administration. Her graduate research, which mainly explored active transportation
planning best practices, helped to create transportation and master plans for
communities across Delaware. During Kirsten’s tenure at SPPA, she was the M.A.
Representative for the Student Association for Policy and Administration (SAPA)
and Executive Director and editor of New Visions for Public Affairs, SPPA’s
journal of public affairs. </p><p>Born and raised in
Madison, Wisconsin, Kirsten was always interested in policy. Initially, she
pursed education policy, which led her to Teach for America, where she taught
middle school English for two years in Kansas City, and then proceeded to
manage an after-school center in San Diego, California. Her experience working
in education led her to understand the importance of planning and transportation
as they relate to the overall betterment of society. She is excited to be now
be living in New York City, implementing the lessons she learned at UD. </p> | https://www.bidenschool.udel.edu/Images Profile Alumnus/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=37 | |
