Resume

As an environmental planner with a background in policy research, risk analysis, and infrastructure planning, my work focuses on understanding how environmental hazards, land use decisions, and regulatory frameworks shape development outcomes. Through technical research, GIS analysis, and policy evaluation, I examine how planning tools can support more resilient and sustainable communities. I am particularly interested in roles that combine environmental policy, infrastructure systems, and data-driven analysis to inform responsible development and long-term environmental resilience.
