About
I'm passionate about saving lives through structural engineering. Seeing firsthand the devastation of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and working on recovery efforts in Venezuela have shown me that engineering is about much more than buildings. It's about the people and communities whose lives depend on them.
Through my experience working in Kenya, Japan, Venezuela, and Spain, I've seen the challenges communities face and the difference engineering can make. I am helping communities better prepare for and recover from disasters.
