I’m a master’s student at Clark University, passionate about advancing sustainable urban development and global decarbonization through innovative, data-driven solutions. With experience collaborating with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and in-depth field research across Worcester, MA, and Costa Rica, I specialize in assessing urban tree health and carbon sequestration potential to inform city planning and green initiatives. My background includes:- Conducting large-scale field studies, including a survey of over 2,300 trees within Worcester’s Asian Longhorned Beetle Regulation Zone, and resident interviews to understand community perspectives on local ecosystems.- Analyzing forest composition and carbon capture across 2,800+ square meters in Atenas, Costa Rica, with findings aimed at shaping urban forestry policies.- Proficiency in research methodologies like experiment design, hypothesis testing, and data analysis to support sustainable development policies.I’m eager to leverage my skills in urban ecology and renewable energy to contribute to a greener, more resilient future for communities worldwide.
