About Me
As Planning and Policy Director of LACBC, Dorothy lobbies politicians, consults with city government, and activates cyclists to develop and enhance bicycle infrastructure and education. At the end of 2008, Dorothy completed her one year as Quiksilver SiteLA Visionary in Residence, which allowed her to host creative events, safety workshops, and bicycle rides to promote awareness of the bicycling community in the mainstream. In 2007, she graduated from UCLA and is proud to be a Bruin. As a staff member of LACBC and as a native Angelena, Dorothy is excited to help Los Angeles reach its potential to become a green city, full of bicycles, clean air, open space, and thriving community.
