I am a planner and resilience practitioner living in Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about community-based climate resilience and pursuing a just transition. My work has spanned from helping small communities in Georgia and South Carolina to align and communicate their visions for the future to developing a more data-driven approach to tree planting that maximizes resilience benefits for climate-impacted communities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I am also a writer and a firm believer in the power of language to shape the world. I specialize in journalistic and creative nonfiction writing, and my work has been published in Planetizen, Next City, Nonprofit Quarterly, Chalkbeat, and Yes! Magazine, among others.
