About Me
I’m a climate resilience planner who’s passionate about deploying data analysis and modeling tools to innovate planning solutions and connect people with a resilient and sustainable environment. I’ve worked with renowned international offices to build climate resilience master plans, wildfire and flood predictive models, energy and waste management analysis, and transit-oriented development projects in North America and Asia. I love creating livable, equitable, and sustainable cities that not only function well, but also inspire and uplift those who call them home.
