I am a city planner & spatial data researcher.

My research explores zoning, land-use, housing, & urban economics.

I will be joining UCLA’s Urban Planning Ph.D. program in the fall.

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.
