Full Bio

Jessica Brent is a recent graduate of the University of Oklahoma Urban Design Studio. With a background in public health, she is interested in the many ways the urban form contributes to health and wellness. She currently serves as Mobility Management Coordinator for the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her focus is transit but when her boss isn't looking she pokes her nose in the bike/ped planning projects. The paths of travel through cities are endlessly fascinating to her. An urban designer at heart, Jessica admires creative interventions, thoughtful design and the application of marketing and branding strategies to city planning. In addition to her work with INCOG, Jessica is the site planner for Saint Francis Tulsa Tough, Tulsa's 3-day cycling festival. She is active in her neighborhood's development committee and serves on the board for Tulsa Now, a grassroots revitalization advocacy group.
