I am a current Urban Planning and Community Development graduate student at UMass Boston, with a concentration in environmental planning and land use. I am interested in researching environmental and social justice, and how the physical and cultural elements of a city work to influence the self-perception of neighborhoods and individuals.

My past research projects include studying climate change adaptation plans for cities in Central America and the Caribbean, and working on a team to develop a climate change adaptation plan for Dangriga, Belize.
