Hello
I am approaching the end of my PhD and am actively seeking new opportunities, reach out with any inquiries.
I have worked as a researcher, planner, urbanist, data analyst, and critical geographer looking for somewhere I can help to realize a sustainable, equitable future.
Send me an email if you want to chat.
Current Goals
PhD Research
My work is centered around vehicle dependency and its relation to transportation equity, place, and sustainable cities.

I have worked as both a teaching assistant and primary course instructor continuously for the last three years, usually in classes related to urban geography, sustainable development, or climate change. The 2023 Summer Sustainable Cities trip to Zurich where I was teaching staff stands out as a highlight.
I usually have ~5 higher profile speaking engagements annually on top of courses, guest lectures, and workshops.
