What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role that allows me to utilize my skills in urban planning and data analysis while contributing to sustainable development initiatives.

I am a dedicated urban planner with hands-on experience in sustainable urban mobility and development. My expertise lies in designing and conducting surveys, analyzing data, and preparing detailed project reports. I am proficient in using AutoCAD for street design, GIS for spatial analysis, and SPSS for data processing. I leverage data analysis and visualization tools to inform evidence-based interventions that drive sustainable development.

Throughout my career, I have assisted in the preparation of conceptual and detailed urban designs, developed waste management programs, and led teams in significant urban planning projects. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively, as demonstrated by my comprehensive reports and presentations. My adaptability allows me to navigate complex situations and drive positive change within communities.
