Welcome to my website!!
I earned my Ph.D. in Public Affairs from the University of Central Florida (2024), specializing in public administration, urban governance and community development. My research focuses on community governance and collective action in addressing complex problems at the local/hyperlocal level, with an emphasis on abductive reasoning and evidence-based policy making. I explore innovative and community-based public governance strategies that bridge theory and practice, aiming to redefine relationships between public service delivery, people, and place in achieving sustainability, social equity, and climate resilience.
I am always eager to collaborate on research projects, discuss potential speaking engagements, or explore teaching opportunities. Feel free to reach out to me.
