Hello and welcome to the Harvard community! I am a Master of Public Policy Candidate at the Harvard Kennedy School and Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. In addition to my other professional roles, I have five years of experience in student affairs across college, primary and secondary school. Before attending Harvard, I worked and continue to work as a consultant in emergency management and disaster recovery, focusing on crisis response operations, preparedness, and community resilience. Being born and raised in Los Angeles, New England's frequent gray skies are an adjustment for me. But I find solace in reading, cooking, gardening, playing saxophone, and taking my dog out for long walks throughout the city.
