About Me

I'm a climate scientist and environmental engineer passionate about understanding and addressing extreme heat vulnerability. When I'm not modeling heat stress or analyzing climate data, you'll find me exploring micro-adventures around the Bay Area, tending to my growing hydroponic garden, or getting lost in a good book.

Travel

I've been fortunate to explore diverse landscapes and cultures across South America, Central America, and Europe. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how climate and environment shape communities differently across the world, informing both my research perspective and my commitment to creating accessible, culturally-relevant climate tools.

Little Joys

Strong coffee, street markets, public libraries, walks in local parks, discovering new podcasts, and the satisfaction of watching plants grow from seed to harvest.
