I have successfully led projects with budgets exceeding $500,000, demonstrating my ability to manage complex projects while delivering actionable insights.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in data visualization tools such as Power BI and ArcGIS, which I have utilized to create dashboards that effectively communicate findings to stakeholders. My academic background, including a PhD in Technology, Policy and Innovation, complements my practical experience, allowing me to approach challenges with a comprehensive understanding of environmental systems and policies.
