Driving Transformative Solutions in Sustainable Development, Ecological Restoration, and Environmental Forensics

With a proven track record in designing and leading large-scale ecological systems, spatial analysis initiatives, and field-based environmental assessments, I brings strategic vision and scientific rigor to complex sustainability challenges across sectors. My expertise spans sustainable development planning, ecological restoration, and environmental forensics—underpinned by a systems-thinking approach that integrates ecological, spatial, and legal dimensions of landscape change.

I specialize in identifying and capitalizing on emerging opportunities in sustainable development and ecological restoration—helping governments, industry leaders, and legal teams elevate their initiatives to global standards. My leadership style is collaborative and motivational, with a history of building and mentoring high-performing, multidisciplinary teams across international contexts.

I work to optimize operations through data-driven modeling, spatial analysis, and forensic environmental investigation. Whether advancing cross-sectoral partnerships, providing expert testimony, facilitating stakeholder education, or aligning initiatives with the latest sustainability science, I help clients turn complex environmental challenges into actionable, evidence-based outcomes.

Leadership

Served as a project manager, in both academia and industry, on various projects for highly diverse group and funding sources. Develop and oversee public-private collaborations for local and regional sustainability initiatives. Worked as team associate and collaborator to ecological restoration and design firms. Fulbright Fellow representing USA’s international exchange mission and future leadership potential.

Litigation Support & Expert Environmental Analysis

I provide expert consulting and testimony in civil and administrative environmental litigation, offering robust scientific assessments to support legal teams in cases involving contaminated lands, hydrologic alterations, ecological damages, and natural resource valuation. My work integrates spatial modeling, in situ field investigations, and historical land use reconstruction to establish causal pathways, quantify impacts, and evaluate restoration potential. With a deep understanding of evidentiary standards and regulatory frameworks, I assist attorneys, municipalities, and plaintiffs in building defensible, data-driven cases—whether for liability determination, damages assessment, or environmental compliance.
