Experience
Associate Urban Resilience, Climate Action and Sustainability
Apr 2021 — Present · NY, US
I specialize in sustainability and resilience planning, strategy, and implementation. I work with clients in the public and private sectors to advise on and deliver innovative, technically robust solutions that will shape the future development of cities, ensuring their livability, sustainability, and resilience. A few projects I\'m most proud to have supported include standard-setting projects such as the USDN guidance on Racial Equity in Climate Planning and Practice for Local Governments, the City of Los Angeles’ Green New Deal, the C40 Paris-Compliant Climate Action Planning Framework, and the City Resilience Index with the Rockefeller Foundation. I also act as the Head of Programmes for The Resilience Shift, an initiative of Arup and Lloyd’s Register Foundation to accelerate the resilience of critical infrastructure.
