Bio

My background in construction administration, energy efficiency, and family advocacy has shown me how environmental, social, and health systems intersect — and how gaps in those systems affect real people. I’m pursuing the University of San Diego’s MESH program to deepen my work in integrated sustainability, with coursework such as “Sustainable Water” and “Engineering and the Health of the Planet.” Much of my direction stems from lived experience supporting youth and families navigating complex care systems. These experiences shaped my belief that sustainable solutions must be technically strong, accessible, and grounded in human realities. I’m especially interested in resource systems that reduce strain on vulnerable communities while strengthening long-term resilience. My goal is to develop and implement practical sustainability solutions that improve community stability at the intersection of engineering, environment, and human health.
