Danielle Gannon, Transit Planner
Danielle Gannon joined the CSPDC as our newest Regional/Transit Planner on August 16. She is a recent graduate of San Diego State University, earning her master’s degree in sociology. At SDSU, Danielle worked as a teaching associate for multiple sociology classes and worked on a variety of qualitative and quantitative research projects and initiatives. On one such project, Danielle analyzed migratory patterns and survey responses to examine the relationship between individual and place. Within this analysis, Danielle examined the characteristics that residents value in the places where they reside, which led to a deeper understanding of what individuals need and want from our communities. Through her education at SDSU, as well as her former work and life experiences, Danielle has developed a sociological lens that informs the work she does as a planner, striving to design and sustain equitable and enriching communities that serve the people who live in them. Danielle lives in Staunton and loves to enjoy the outdoors with her dog, Frankie.
