      Reimagine Phoenix is a citywide waste diversion and sustainability initiative with the goal of diverting 40 percent of trash from the landfill by the year 2020 by considering how we reduce, reuse, recycle, reconsider, and reimagine healthy consumption habits to minimize waste in our daily lives. By redefining trash for Phoenix residents and businesses, the initiative demonstrates that waste is a valuable resource and could be transformed into other products or sources of energy.​In my role as Project Manager for the Reimagine Phoenix Initiative, I worked to advance the City's Circular Economy program. My efforts centered on establishing public-private partnerships to keep material out of the landfill, increase the diversion rate and help the City transition toward a more sustainable, circular economy.
