I obtained my Master's degree in Environmental Science and
Policy from Columbia University, and my main focus was on
the impact of drought and flooding on vulnerable populations.
During my studies, I worked directly with the city of New York
to help develop an approach to deploying electric vehicle
charging stations to support the city's resilience plan.
Immediately following my degree, I began working with the
Center for Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and the

Please provide a brief
explanation of your
interest and your reasons
for wishing to be
appointed to this
board/committee.
World Bank to analyze climate risk models and how to
incorporate geospatial data to better predict risk.
Following Hurricane Sandy, I helped start and run Friends of
Rockaway, which was a non-profit organization dedicated to
helping at -risk families from losing housing as a result of the
storm. I served as an active member of the Rockaway
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and helped
to create the community's post -disaster recovery plan.
I am interested in joining the environmental stewardship
committee because I want to protect the natural spaces in
Atlantic Beach and I want to enhance the experience of living
here for all of our community. For me, this is such a special
place and the unique environment is a large part of it. This is
where my wife and her family grew up, and it is where my two
boys will grow up. A generation from now, I want to make sure
my kids and anyone else who comes here can recognize how
wonderful this town is!
PLEASE NOTE: This application will expire two (2) years from the date of submittal.
