"As an environmental planner and policy advocate, I work to create human-centered, climate-conscious spaces—streets for walkers and cyclists, green and inclusive public areas, and infrastructure that respects nature’s limits.

At the core of this vision is evidence-based public policy. Whether through urban planning, local governance, or national legislation, I believe in shaping technically sound, people-first solutions—and in standing with those who fight for the same."
