San Francisco, California, United States
Creative, resourceful and adaptive engineer guiding infrastructure owners to a more sustainable and resilient future. I started my career in environmental engineering as a water reuse designer, providing site specific and integrated water reuse solutions to reduce demand on current water supplies, from concept through to project commissioning. Today, I apply my experience in both environmental engineering and building science to help infrastructure owners identify decarbonization and water efficiency opportunities, work with owners and stakeholders to set resilience and sustainability goals and then provide actionable plans to achieve those goals I've been able to be a part of several great volunteer organizations, both organizing social events and helping within the community. These activities have given me the opportunity to work collaboratively with other team members as well as lead a team.
Associate with the Climate Advisory Services team.
Designed onsite non-potable water reuse systems for building and campus scale water reuse projects, ranging from master planning to construction document level projects, to meet Client sustainability goals. Developed and presented frameworks for clients to evaluate when and where water reuse systems are viable in terms of various sustainability factors (energy, cost, urban growth). Successfully navigated compliance and permitting of onsite water reuse systems in a newly-formed and rapidly changing regulatory climate in California. Supported project compliance with sustainability frameworks (ILFI Living Building Challenge, LEED and WELL). Managed junior designers on project-related tasks to successfully meet scope and submission milestones.
Performed comprehensive site water balance assessments and onsite water reuse feasibility studies. Developed accessible and adaptable tools and resources to grow the water reuse service offering. Coordinated resource sharing of leading research, approaches and technologies across multiple offices through Sherwood’s Innovation Lab.
