Bridging Data, Design, and Community Impact

I am an urban planner and data storyteller passionate about transforming
complex climate and resilience data into accessible, actionable insights that empower communities and drive impact. With a background in urban design and data visualization, I specialize in creating interactive, user-centered experiences that make
abstract information tangible and meaningful. Through my work, I bring together technical expertise and a commitment to clarity, leading cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that resonate with diverse audiences. I believe in using data to foster understanding and create community impact, ensuring that every project I lead is rooted in empathy, purpose, and a vision for resilient,
connected communities.
Education
Driven by a commitment to social impact and innovative solutions, I pursued a degree in urban planning that addresses the complex, evolving needs of today’s urban and environmental landscape.
