About Me.

I am a community-focused planner with a deep commitment to building strong, resilient, and future-ready places—communities that are prepared to withstand the growing challenges of natural disasters, human migration, and political instability. I believe in empowering local governments and residents to become self-reliant and fiscally sustainable by implementing sound current and long-range planning practices. With a background spanning construction, emergency management, and public sector consulting, I’m passionate about helping communities adapt, thrive, and prepare for the future—without leaving anyone behind.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked on public and private infrastructure and energy projects ranging in scale from local complete streets initiatives to international mega-energy developments, including a major offshore project in Newfoundland. These experiences have exposed me to a wide range of cultures and community systems, shaping my belief that all people deserve access to safe, well-managed, and thoughtfully planned environments. This global perspective has reinforced my commitment to inclusive and equity-driven planning rooted in real-world effectiveness.

I bring a diverse and technical skillset that includes research, data collection, analysis, spatial modeling, visualization, and community engagement. I frequently use advanced geospatial tools—including GIS and drone-based photogrammetry—to assess environments and develop data-informed, community-driven solutions that reflect both local knowledge and technical precision.

I look forward to continue to bridge the gap between research and practice. I’m driven by a desire to write, study, and apply academic frameworks to complex, real-world problems—ensuring planning theory becomes a tool for meaningful, on-the-ground change. Whether through applied research in transportation, land use, or emergency preparedness, I believe in the power of data and evidence-based strategies to elevate local voices and develop plans that are compassionate, effective, and enduring.
