Setting up PAF 546 blog

I hope we have a succesful semester. Look forward to all your comments and discussions. If need to get hold of me, you can do so at mariaacafe2002@yahoo.com.

I am a Civil engineer that currently works for the City of Mesa's Transportation Department. I have a MS in Construction Mngt, and a MEP in Environmental Urban Planning, both from ASU. I am currently enrolled in the Master of Public Administration.

The reason for pursuing this master, is I want to be more effective in presenting suggested action plans to the City Council and residents. In order to do so, and the actions to be implementable, I need to understand public (City) policy.

  1. I love the pictures of your dogs, I couldn't find a picture with all three of my dogs in it.

    If you are interesting in public policy, have you considered the MPP (masters in public policy) degree? It has many of the same core classes, but more targeted to public policy.

  2. Hi Maria,

    I see you are a Civil Engineer too, that's great! The world needs more people like us :) How long have you been with the City of Mesa? I just inherited that area, what type of work do you do for them?
