ABout Me

I am an urban planner focused specifically on climate resilience, transportation, and public space. I enjoy attempting to solve complex urban problems to transform our public realm into a safer, more resilient, and equitable place.

Waterfront planning is close to my heart: I am from the Port of Los Angeles, the largest and most critical port in the US, and I have worked and lived in and around NYC’s 520 miles of coastline since 2020 as part of NYC DOT’s Resiliency Planning & Management unit.

I also enjoy writing, reading, and making art.
