New York, New York, United States
My mission is to lead and collaborate to implement ideas into action through problem-solving. During my time at Energy Futures Group and the Mayor's Office of Operations, I've expanded and adapted my technical skills in project management and data analysis and my soft skills in communication and collaboration to solve clients' issues and produce valuable work products. My goal is to make the planet a more liveable and equitable place for current and future generations by developing proactive strategic plans and implementing them. I aspire to work for a company that engages in environmentally-focused work in consultancy, project management, and ESG. As a first-generation college student and daughter of immigrant parents, my experience as a liberal arts scholar from Franklin & Marshall College ignited my passion for the intersections of urban environmental issues, environmental policy, climate justice, and Asian American & Pacific Islander issues in both the public and private sectors. In my free time, I like to bike around the city, play mahjong, practice yoga, and always develop new skills by trying new activities. :)
