• Conducted various environmental due diligence assessments, including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, for diverse property types, ensuring compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) standards, American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, United States Small Business Administration (SBA) environmental policies, and customized client formats• Managed facets of technical report authoring, consisting of historical and analytical research on project sites, regulatory research and collaboration, site reconnaissance and interviews, environmental sampling, data compilation and organization, and client service

• Performed research under Dr. Tokunaga on Shiokawa River in Okinawa, Japan to elucidate the mechanisms behind its coastal karst aquifer's brackish spring discharge above sea level • Collected groundwater samples and field measurement data (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity) from Shiokawa River and 20+ comparison sites• Analyzed groundwater samples for major ion concentrations (high-pressure ion chromatography and titration), δ18O and δ2H isotope values (cavity ring-down spectroscopy), and SF6 concentrations (purge and trap gas chromatography)• Executed vertical electrical sounding (VES) to analyze the layer stratification of Shiokawa River's aquifer and locate the potential depth of the freshwater-saltwater interface• Installed loggers for measurements and analysis of time series data (temperature, electrical conductivity, and river water level)• Carried out field surveys of rivers to determine status of river water flow as well as the relationship with surrounding geology and topography

• Performed preliminary research on groundwater systems • Attended laboratory seminars to engage with and discuss research projects carried out by current graduate students• Assisted peer review of Master’s and PhD theses submitted for publication

• Worked on engagement, policy, and communications projects that contributed to momentum and coalition-building on climate action around the Los Angeles region • Contributed to the development of a climate adaptation plan, "Urban Cooling + First/Last Mile Strategies", addressing transit access and heat in Canoga Park • Performed outreach presentations and helped collect 462 surveys from Canoga Park businesses and community members to incorporate personal experiences into project framework and design• Tabled at outreach events to educate local community members on LADWP programs and rebates to improve energy efficiency and water conservation • Assisted the coordination of Climate Resolve hosted event, Wildfire; What Cities Can Do • Organized meetings between Climate Resolve and government agencies, California Energy Commission and California Air Resources Board, to introduce smog-reducing technology • Developed graphics and presentations to translate scientific studies into more accessible content for a wider audience and add a humanistic aspect to current research and initiatives

• Studied effects of ocean acidification in The Santa Monica Bay in collaboration with The Bay Foundation • Collected surface water and depth profile data in kelp and eelgrass ecosystems for further analysis through data processing software• Facilitated outreach through web content development, event organization, and public presentations

• Prepared and processed root samples for further analysis through separation and organic matter content assessment under Dr. Ambrose • Performed rocky intertidal site monitoring to collect data on marine communities such as percent coverage and aggregations of targeted species

• Participated in monthly events to test and monitor storm drain outfall water quality at the LA River• Documented changes in vegetation, debris, soil deposition, and flow channels• Observed trends in river channel habitat to analyze weather flow transitions

• Analyzed the properties of supercritical water as an environmental technology under Dr. Oshima• Aimed to propose a method that will allow control of the reaction rate and selectivity of organic synthesis reactions by changing the temperature and pressure of supercritical water

• Worked in a collaborative effort to develop procedures that help mitigate post-consumer food waste within residential restaurants at UCLA• Distributed over 700 student surveys to assess food waste behaviors among students• Designed and piloted signage to gauge student preferences on education methods
