My research at LCI helped inform optimal incentives for zero- and near-zero vehicle adoption, and identified systems and policy changes needed to achieve park equity in LA County. I was a core member of the evaluation team for the first round of grant projects funded through the Strategic Growth Council’s Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program. I regularly used ArcGIS and Stata to conduct geospatial and statistical analyses on large datasets (census, survey, land use) and transportation networks. My work at LCI expanded on my interest in addressing issues of environmental justice and equity.• Managed research projects, report deadlines, graduate student hiring, budgets, and grant fulfillment in the areas of clean transportation, climate change, and park equity• Performed policy, statistical, survey, and geospatial analysis with primary and secondary data•Authored reports, policy briefs, and memos to convey findings and recommendations for different audiences• Collaborated within project teams, led project teams, and worked efficiently individually• Evaluated environmental, economic, and public health impacts for state-wide climate investment programs with novel program evaluation plans• Interacted frequently with various stakeholders - including residents and business owners, non-profits and community-based organizations, university staff and faculty, and local, regional, and state agencies and associated governments
