Sustainability science researcher at Columbia who analyzed Baltic Sea-level data and authored a research manuscript now in review.

At Columbia University, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, I analyzed open-source Baltic Sea-level tide gauge data and first-authored a research manuscript that’s in review.

At Columbia University’s Chemical Engineering department, I built fluidized beds to test ceramic particle mixing using gas, hydraulic, and simulation analysis. That work contributed to three peer-reviewed publications.

For my M.S. capstone at Columbia University, I examined how high-frequency personal air quality sensors characterize rapid changes in fine particulate matter concentrations in New York City. I also supported graduate student programs as a Student Administrator and wrote for two Columbia SPS articles.

As Field Manager for California Public Research and Interest Group, I oversaw staff supporting AB 1148, the Safer Food Packaging Act, and contributed to a summer fundraising effort exceeding $600,000. My work draws on engineering and sustainability science, from laboratory testing and technical instrumentation to data analysis and research communication.
