Career Aspirations

I aspire to advance spatial justice and sustainable urban development by building a career at the intersection of human geography, civic participation, and public policy. My goals include leading community-engaged research that translates academic insights into practical tools, and developing participatory planning initiatives that make spaces more inclusive. I aim to collaborate with municipalities, NGOs, and community groups to empower residents to actively shape their environments and to influence policy and practice toward more equitable, resilient cities.
