About me
advocate for built environment and transportation equity
My overarching goal in life is to help communities live higher quality, happier lives in their built environments, whether through innovative, sustainable technologies that make our environment cleaner or mindful engineering design and policy that make our everyday lives more pleasant. As an Army brat, civil engineer, economist, infrastructure advocate, community organizer, policy analyst, and Fulbright alumnae I bring a unique perspective to the career ahead of me.
My work
I currently work at Aretian Urban Analytics and Design, a small startup incubated and based out of Harvard Innovation Labs. There, I am helping the team design a state-of-the-art digital twin to help decision-makers implement data-driven strategies that ensure sustainable growth, economic vitality, and improved quality of life for all residents.
I have worked across private, public, and non-profit spaces throughout my career, learning about how the built environment is design and built (Civil Engineer at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation), the policy that shapes it (Program Officer at the National Academies of Sciences), and the technology we use to create it (Senior Business Consultant at Autodesk). You can find my most up to date work experience on my LinkedIn Profile.
