About me

I am a PhD student in City & Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design, concentrating on transportation planning. I am also a graduate researcher at the Center for Safe Mobility led by Professor Megan Ryerson, where I am contributing to the accessibility and equity research on teen driving education. I received a Master of City Planning (Sustainable Transportation and Infrastructure Planning) from University of Pennsylvania and Bachelor of Science in GeoDesign from University of Southern California.

My research focuses on the intersection of transportation safety, equity, and accessibility, and specifically research why some people are more vulnerable to unsafe conditions. Aiming for a career in academia, I am dedicated to building an active, safe, efficient, and just transportation system by taking advantage of scientific and technological development in other fields.
