About

I’m a Climate Resilience Specialist with a background spanning extreme weather, sustainability, data science, and applied climate analytics. My work focuses on translating complex climate data into actionable insights for organizations planning for a changing world. I’ve led and contributed to projects assessing physical climate risks for energy, transportation, and infrastructure systems — integrating downscaled climate projections, probabilistic risk modeling, and geospatial analysis to inform adaptation and investment decisions. Previously, I worked with organizations including NASA, Zurich Insurance, and public agencies to develop tools and frameworks that make climate data more accessible and decision-relevant. More recently, I’ve been advancing resilience methodologies — from tropical cyclone risk modeling to flood vulnerability assessments and critical infrastructure adaptation planning. Driven by both science and impact, I’m passionate about bridging the gap between climate data and on-the-ground resilience — helping clients, governments, and communities understand risks and turn them into opportunities for smarter, more sustainable growth.
