Danny Sykes

I am an Urban Planner in my first semester of my Masters. I am a skilled generalist, excited for where Urban Planning will take me. I am fascinated by international transit as well as innovative housing policy. I have a solid grounding in Geographic Information Systems and design.

At my former university, I was a Resident Assistant for five years, as well as an Anthropologist (feel free to ask me about my research). These experiences gave me a deep understanding of community building and constituent advocacy.

Passionate about our democratic institutions and the health of our social lives, I work for a nonpartisan advocacy group: Voters First Wisconsin (namely on marketing and messaging). In addition to this, I enjoy teaching a Landscape Architecture course at UW-Madison. Looking forward, I am eagerly seeking internship opportunities in the public and private sectors.
