I am a registered architect (RA NYS # 043114) and planner with a research focus on socioecological hybridity in the planning and analysis of urban green-blue infrastructure, wildlife conservation, ecotourism and ecosystem services. I am a well-organized and effective leader, with six years of professional experience that has cultivated skill in coordinating with, and learning from, diverse stakeholders and disciplines. I bring a passion for environmental stewardship and conservation ethics to everything I do. This has led me to seek out the knowledge, skills and experiences needed to approach the spatial issues of the environment from a holistic perspective.
