Biography

I am an architect working at the intersection of climate change, public health, and design strategy, collaborating with friends across disciplines, particularly in health. Over the years, I have worked with health experts on various projects including the New York State Climate Impact Assessment, the New York City Panel on Climate Change, NOAA’s National Integrated Heat Health Information System Pilot Program, and HUD’s Climate Change Technical Assistance Program. My collaborations span cities and institutions, and my work rests on the core premise that climate change has significant implications for health, which I advocate for through the hashtag #WeCantUnknowThis. I am dedicated to broadening awareness of climate-related health impacts, increasing coping resources for communities, and encouraging hazard mitigation that includes public health concerns, all in preparation for the types of changes we will experience in the coming century.
