Civil Engineering professional and Regenerative Systems Thinker based in Southern California.
About Me
I’m a civil engineer and construction PM focused on reshaping infrastructure systems for climate resilience, circularity, and social equity. With roots in sustainable transportation, I now work at the intersection of engineering and regenerative design to build a better future from the ground up.
Featured Projects
Eastside Light Rail Corridor – LA Metro
Supported design review and community engagement for ADA-accessible light rail station upgrades—merging equity and transit innovation.
Studebaker Complete Streets – Long Beach
Design and estimate for complete streets project integrating separated Class IV bike lanes & bus islands.
Circular Construction Concepts
Self-led research into wildfire-resilient, circular building materials and co-housing typologies for SoCal ecovillages.
Regenerative Vision
Traditional infrastructure design approaches rigidly reshape or redirect nature. Today we have the capacity to anticipate and integrate natural cycles and engineer adaptable more resilient design elements that will better respond to and withstand our changing climate demands and endure the test of time.
