I am an experienced urban sustainability researcher who helps policymakers make evidence-based and equity-focused decisions. Over the past seven years at the World Resources Institute, I have authored almost 20 research publications using both qualitative and quantitative methods. My main areas of expertise are urban policy and planning, equity analysis of environmental policies, multi-level governance, just transitions, mobility, and circular economy. My work has been formally presented at the UN Climate Action Summit and COP26, included as a chapter in The Climate City (from Wiley Publishing), and cited in the Wall Street Journal, Time, WIRED, and The Guardian. I hold an M.Sc. in Regional and Urban Planning Studies from the London School of Economics (2017) and a B.A. in Food System Studies from Tufts University (2014). I lived in Washington DC for the past five years before moving to Freiburg, Germany in August 2024. On a personal note, I used to run a vegan micro-bakery and I participated in a month-long artist residency in rural Colombia last fall.
