About Me
I am an infrastructure development consultant specialized in the planning, preparation, and financing of sustainable and resilient urban infrastructure. My experience is primarily focused on improving the pipelines of investment ready projects in emerging markets that contribute to resilience, emissions reductions, and economic development. Prior to focusing on urban climate finance, I worked in architecture and drone-based remote sensing and geospatial data analysis.
Previously, I led the Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA) Project Preparation Workstream at Climate Policy Initiative, including the PPF Connector program. I also worked as a Sustainable Urban Development and Disaster Risk Management consultant at the World Bank, an analyst and technical product manager at Measure UAS, a drone remote sensing startup since acquired by Aerodyne, and the architecture firms IDD in Egypt and HFG and the United States.
I have a Bachelor's degree in International Development Studies and minor in architecture from Calvin University and a Master of City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Design.
