• Supporting digital production and communications at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she worked as a Digital Media Technician at a fabrication lab and served as the Marketing & Social Media Director for the American Planning Association student chapter.

• Contributing to the Child-Friendly City Initiative at Growing Up Boulder, where she helped develop engagement materials, co-authored the 2022 Impact Report, and worked directly with children, educators, and civic leaders to center youth perspectives in local planning processes. 

Polly graduated with distinction from the University of Colorado Boulder, holding a Bachelor of Environmental Design with an emphasis in urban design and a minor in sociology. In her free time, Polly loves spending time with friends, going to the cinema, reading a good history book, and collecting physical media.
