Alumni Stories
Graduates of the Master of Sustainable Transportation program embark on a wide variety of career paths. The common thread of these paths is a desire to help shape the way that our society thinks about the interconnections between transportation, environmental concerns and quality-of-life factors.
Here are the stories of a few of our alumni who are using what they learned in the program to make an impact on transportation policy and their communities.
Jessica Brown
Sustainability Environmental Program Manager, Port of Seattle
“I was a mid-career professional working in the environmental field, but I wanted to change the focus of my work toward transportation. Now I’m leading a sustainability effort — I get to focus on something I’m really passionate about.”
Stuart Samberg
Project Manager, RK&K
“There are a number of things I do today that build off topics that we studied ... I honestly would not have been able to provide some of those services without having taken the master's program.”
Curtis Walton
Assistant Transportation Engineer, Seattle Department of Transportation
“I was looking for something that aligned with my own personal values and allowed me to make a positive impact on my local community.”
