I am a compassionate and ardent designer, planner, and urbanist focused on using the the built environment, human-centered and design, and community-based participatory research to improve the quality of life of, and eliminate social, economic, environmental and health disparities in communities around the world.
My background in interior design and psychology, professional work in architecture and public health, and masters programs in urban planning and urban design have collectively developed my passion and skills for using design of all scales to shape equitable and healthy futures of communities, neighborhoods, and cities.
