My interests span multiple disciplines focused on the  green infrastructure projects and its role in climate resilience. As a graduate student in the Integrative Conservation PhD program with a concentration in Geography, I am deeply engaged in understanding how green infrastructure projects impact local economies and social equity. My background includes four years of experience in the agricultural and environmental sector, which informs my research on the interactions between climate variables, human activities, and carbon sequestration processes. I am particularly interested in utilizing statistical and econometric modeling to assess the economic effects of large-scale restoration projects while exploring ecological valuation methods to quantify carbon sequestration and ecosystem services. By integrating environmental economics with climate and ecological sciences, I aim to contribute to more data-driven solutions that address the challenges posed by climate change while enhancing community resilience.
