My research explores zoning, land-use, housing, & urban economics.
I am currently a Research Cordinator for the Wharton Spatial Initiative with Susan Wachter. I also work as a GIS & Data Analyst for the City of Walnut Creek. I recently completed a Masters of City Planning & Masters of Urban Spatial Analytics at the University of Pennsylvania.
I am currently applying to doctoral programs related to city planning.
