Born and raised under the South Florida sun, I'm an engineer passionate about driving environmental innovation in the private sector.
Currently completing my MS in Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, my journey from the beaches of Florida to Silicon Valley has shaped my vision for combining policy and technology to tackle environmental challenges.
Outside of work, you can find me scoping out new running paths, making raw vegan desserts, and diving into the latest environmental policy reads.

Recent Projects
Fundusol Agrivoltaics
Fundusol, a Stanford TomKat Institute startup, is pioneering agrivoltaic systems that combine solar energy with agriculture to maximize both crop yields and energy generation. I have been working with GIS and the team to help develop scalable solutions that make dual-purpose land use both accessible and profitable for American farmers.
Coming soon...
A forthcoming policy paper developed as part of a Stanford Law School policy practicum and in collaboration with the Data Foundation and the Doerr School of Sustainability, following a conference of the same name.
Co-author, expected publication Spring 2025.
Portfolio
The following excerpts are taken from joint projects but only display my contributions:
2024 Agrivoltaics Student Design Competition
Our winning proposal was showcased at the 2024 World Argivoltaics Conference in Colorado where we presented our innovative approach to combining renewable energy generation with sustainable agriculture. I conducted comprehensive spatial data analysis to optimize the site selection and system design. My contributions included analyzing land use patterns, topographical features, solar radiation potential, and agricultural suitability through advanced GIS mapping and modeling. This data-driven approach was crucial in developing evidence-based solutions that maximized both agricultural productivity and solar energy generation.
An Investigation into Florida’s Great Outdoor Initiative
A study to examine the ecological implications of Florida's 2025 Great Outdoors Initiative, specifically focusing on the proposed recreational development at Jonathan Dickinson State Park (JDSP). The research utilized the Natural Capital Project's InVEST Coastal Vulnerability model to determine how converting portions of JDSP's natural landscape into recreational facilities might impact crucial ecosystem services, specifically focusing on coastal vulnerability using the exposure risk index to measure model outcomes.
