Over a decade of leadership experience in urban settings, I have focused on fostering sustainable community bridging, nature equity, environmental and nature-based education, and land and ecological conservation/restoration efforts. My work is deeply rooted in community-based engagement, emphasizing high-quality initiatives. I contribute to program administration, compliance, and advancing environmental and resilience initiatives. I have a proven track record in cross-sector collaborations, networking, and partnership building, aimed at enhancing conditions for youth and their families in low-income communities. A Master’s degree received in Sustainable Urban Development and Bachelor’s degree in Sociology of Law & Society from DePaul University.
