What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in urban planning and contribute to sustainable community development.

I am a dedicated urban studies and geography student at the University at Albany, with a passion for community development and environmental sustainability. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in urban planning principles, and I am eager to apply my knowledge to real-world challenges.

As a Climate Corps Intern, I have actively contributed to local environmental initiatives, such as planting trees to create outdoor cooling centers and redistributing food to those in need. My experience as a Research Assistant has honed my skills in utilizing ArcGIS Pro for mapping and data analysis, allowing me to effectively visualize and interpret complex information. I am committed to making a positive impact in my community through innovative planning and research.
