About Me

Thanks for checking me out! I just graduated from the City and Regional Planning program at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design at Penn. You're probably wondering who I am and what I'm like. I am a designer and data nerd, who is passionate about climate change and sustainability. My goals are to use design, information technology and policy to achieve sustainability targets via the planning process.

When I'm not aggressively trying to learn something new, you can find me spending time at wildlife conservancies, hiking trails, working up a sweat at the gym, shopping at farmers markets, biking or geeking out over a new Netflix documentary. I'm a big scrabble fan, (former competitive player), and I try to catch local concerts. I'm an avid learner and love a great mind bending problem. Being very ambitious, I am constantly improving myself, learning from mistakes and working towards being a better version of myself.
