Being a detail oriented and creative urban designer and planner, my desire is to solve urban issues through my expertise in urban design and planning: preparing master plans, community planning and sustainable development, data analysis, land use and zoning, transportation planning and downtown revitalization. Seven years advanced education and two years of dynamic work experience coalesce the skills that I offer as a creative urban designer and solution provider.

• Investigated and analyzed the relationship between sustainability and
sustainable development
• Investigated resilience and sustainable development definitions, pathways and
goals at local and global level
• Hypothesized three relationships between resilience and sustainability based
on the literature review:
1. “A city can be sustainable but not resilient”
2. “A city can be resilient but not sustainable”
3. “If a city is resilient, it can be considered sustainable and vice versa”
• Reviewed and prepared a summary of resilient and sustainable plans for 10
American cities
• Correlated vision, targets and actions of 10 resilient plans to the 100RC (100
Resilient Cities) framework to analyze which plans follow a comprehensive
resilient framework based on these categories: (Health and Well-being,
Economy and Society, Infrastructure and Environment, Leadership and
Strategy)
• Developed the third hypothesis and used the summary of 10 resilient and
sustainable plans and their correlated model to argue that “Resilient plans can
help achieve sustainability”
