Throughout my career, I have collaborated with diverse stakeholders, including developers, government agencies, and communities, to address complex urban challenges. My strong analytical and interpersonal skills enable me to deliver solutions that enhance quality of life, support economic growth, and promote environmental stewardship. I am driven by a passion for continuous learning and am eager to take on new challenges that contribute to both my professional and personal growth.
