I

'm a cartographer and map designer with experience developing map and data products to support global projects.

Through work with both international and local organizations—including Esri, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), NASA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USAID, and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative—I have partnered with stakeholders around the world to design and deploy mapping tools that leverage diverse spatial data to support humanitarian, conservation, and development efforts. For my Master’s thesis, I built a satellite imagery analysis tool to detect airstrike damage in Syria, supporting civilian casualty accountability investigations.
