Summary
My master's thesis, "Campus Biking Program at the University of Virginia," reflects my passion for biking and belief in sustainability. I first moved to Cambridge in 2006, returned in 2020, and have been a dedicated Cambridge resident ever since.
Highly organized and self-motivated Urban Planner & Designer with 10 years of progressive experience in university planning and design, as well as community development in major cities. I possess extensive expertise in environmental planning regulations and resources within an urban context. My profound knowledge includes collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting environmental, zoning, and other city planning data. I have strong survey and research skills.
I excel in engaging project sponsors and stakeholders to address environmental planning activities and possess strong interpersonal skills to communicate effectively with local governments and residents. Additionally, I am adept at negotiating with government officials, financial institutions, and community organizations.
My experience has allowed me to develop relationships with community stakeholders, contractors, property owners, fellow workers, and the general public. I am highly proficient with Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) programs, Photoshop, and Microsoft Office Suite applications.
