Building cities that stay standing — and stay powered — when the weather turns.

I am an urban infrastructure and environmental professional with a Master of Science in Urban Infrastructure Systems from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, concentrated in environmental systems. My work sits where engineering, environmental science, and public decision-making meet: feasibility studies, cost analysis, environmental assessment, and the stakeholder work that determines whether a good technical idea ever gets built.

My core expertise grew out of the Rockaway Community Microgrid initiative, where I evaluated community-scale microgrids and distributed renewable generation as a defense against hurricane and flood-driven outages. I investigated NYSERDA program requirements, weighed technical, financial, environmental, and implementation trade-offs, rebuilt cost estimates, and recommended adjustments that strengthened the project's competitiveness against funding selection criteria.

That analytical foundation is grounded in laboratory and field rigor. As a soil and hydrology research technician at the Brooklyn College Environmental Analytical Center, I ran environmental monitoring and analytical testing, maintained quality-control procedures, and helped expand external laboratory services by roughly 30 percent. Supervising a phytoremediation research team, I guided interns through experiments that reduced lead contamination and cut soil salinity by as much as 40 percent in two months.

Across every role, I have made complex systems legible — to funders, agencies, multidisciplinary teams, and residents. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and credentialed as a licensed community interpreter, I bring technical credibility and genuine community access to the same table. I am motivated by infrastructure that is sustainable, resilient, and equitable in practice, not only on paper.
