    • Sustainability Action Research

      Dec 2020 - Jun 2022

      I co-developed 7 research project topics and implementation timelines for the Institute of Environment and Sustainability’s premiere campus-focused action research program. I supervised recruitment and onboarding for all UCLA staff project advisors and the accompanying 42 student project team members to research UCLA’s sustainability goals in waste diversion, energy conservation, biodiversity, etc.I created learning objectives to train students in creating a literature review, collecting data, managing a project, facilitating stakeholder relations, visualizing data, and integrating equity into sustainability research to prepare for final reports and deliverables that teams would share with the Office of Sustainability at the end of the program. Forwarding those efforts, I curated the syllabus, assignments, and lectures for the accompanying 22-week upper-division environmental science course, grading and providing students feedback on their project trajectory and mentoring teams in creating tangible campus sustainability change.

      I advised the Campaign Managers of the 20+ members of the Bruins for Better Transit team in developing the 15-week campaign timeline to increase student voter turnout to 6,000 UCLA undergraduates to vote on a ballot measure to increase student fees by $3.30/quarter to provide all undergraduate students with a transit pass with unlimited access to transit lines serving UCLA.I facilitated the deadline for the ballot language and relationship building with other undergraduate elected officials to secure the referendum’s place on the ballot, supervised debate strategy, and played and integral role in growing the @bruins4bettertransit social media account by 1,000+ followers in under 3 weeks.Lastly, I organized UCLA’s Inaugural TAP Card Design Contest, garnering 7 finalist designs from UCLA students and developing the rules and marketing timeline for the contest in accordance to LA Metro TAP Style and UCLA Trademark and Licensing guidelines.

      Jan 2023 - Oct 2023
      Research and Administrative Assistant

      I led efforts to identify a list of 80+ eligible MPO Board members/elected officials for qualitative data collection on their methodology for integrating climate and equity into their RTP/SCS and selecting projects to prioritize in their RTIP. I oversaw data cleaning for 7.5 hours of footage of focus groups held with MPO Board members and representatives from advocacy organizations to analyze gaps, where the State could improve its practices in forwarding its climate and equity goals in regional planning.I also supported producing and organizing written documentation for 5 working groups tackling the themes of resilient transportation, reimagining transportation, access to opportunities, safe/healthy transportation, and phasing away from fossil fuels to extract critical themes for creating a community-informed research agenda identifying the barriers to a just transition to a sustainable transportation system in Los Angeles. Collaborating with 15+ CBOS, I supported UCLA’s Transformative Research and Collaboration Study by facilitating discussions using Jamboard and LucidSpark meeting tools and developing memos to capture insights from advocates and community members.
