Mitchell Fransen

I’m Mitchell Fransen, and my leisure pursuits are specialty coffee, bicycling, and photography. I am a master’s student under the direction of Dr. Kim Shinew and I’m interested in transportation access in cities and how that affects our health and involvement in community recreation. I seek to understand urban thoroughfare infrastructure and mobility systems as they impact health, and how individuals’ transportation choices affect their civic engagement. Feel free to connect on LinkedIn or email me at fransen2@illinois.edu.
