Master of Science,
Sustainable Environmental Systems
I am dedicated to developing innovative decarbonization strategies that tackle the urgent climate crisis. After a decade of working as a designer in New York City, I decided to pivot my career to climate change projects. I use user-centered design principles to develop scalable, scientifically-backed strategies for addressing climate change with sustainable, context-adaptable solutions.

Local Law 97 Implementation with NYC Accelerator
The Parish of Calvary-St. George’s Green Building Renovation for Community & Climate Stewardship
As a member of the historic Parish of Calvary-St. George’s Stewardship Committee, I currently am serving as Project Manager for the parish’s building needs assessments. Updating our properties—with multiple buildings dating back more than a century—will require a holistic renovation plan and coordinating with New York City’s agency, the NYC Accelerator, to conduct existing conditions assessments and feasibility studies for green building renovations.
This project will usher in much-needed improvement in the building stock and accelerate standards to meet Local Law 97 targets.
