Hell's Kitchen Wetland Mitigation & Master Plan
Designed a 160-acre wetland ecosystem to mitigate geothermal energy impacts and support the Salton Sea's biological character.

Translational Climate Researcher
I am a translational climate researcher and doctoral Research Assistant currently pursuing a joint PhD in Geography with a concentration in Climate Science, at San Diego State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara. My work integrates remote sensing, environmental modeling, and machine learning to generate actionable, data-driven insights for climate decision-making. My research has so far spanned four continents and is grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration that prioritizes scientific rigor, social relevance, and policy readiness.
