Bachelor's Capstone Project: Urban Green Scenes
Below you can find my Bachelor's capstone project poster (May 2025), completed during my time in the Ecosystem Services GeoAI Lab and funded by the University AI Scholars program. I also had the privilege to present my work at the workshop and conference Resilience in Urban Environments toward SDG Sustainable Cities in Cuenca, Ecuador (June 2025).

ArcPy Script Tool: Trail Slope Alignment
ArcPy Script Tool: Trail Slope Alignment
After learning the arcpy Python module in Spring 2023, I revisited a part of this project that I knew could be automated: calculating trail sustainability (susceptibility to erosion and trail widening) as a function of Trail Slope Alignment. Click the image to see the tool on GitHub!

Writing & Other Academic Research
Coming into the University of Florida, I was of the 2% of students in my cohort selected for the University Research Scholars Program. As a part of URSP, I took Research and Creativity in the fall of my freshman year. This course taught me about the power of research by giving me a comprehensive introduction to the university research process and pathways to involvement.
In Spring 2022, I began studying the impact of student transience on community garden volunteering under the guidance of Dr. Anna Peterson. This began by reading literature on the relationship between environmental values and practices and discussing with a small group of others broadly investigating the topic. I then conducted an ethnographic field study through observation and informal interviews, forming an ideal type of a volunteer at the community garden I was in. The experience culminated in presenting at the UF Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium with my peers). Check out my poster or read my work published in the 2022 volume of the University of Florida's Journal of Undergraduate Research.

Hosted by the International Bioscience and Built Environment Consortium, I joined with Honors College representatives from across the country in October 2021 to engage in emerging issues and challenges associated with the pandemic. I represented a group of my peers after moderating a discussion on “communication and human factors considerations for enduring change.”
Afterwards, I was invited to work on a collaborative paper on youth participation in environmental movements.
