LEED AP ND | SITES AP

I create the technical ESG frameworks and municipal policies required to de-risk multi-billion-dollar infrastructure deployments. By integrating rigorous third-party systems like LEED AP ND and SITES AP, I translate volatile climate risks into resilient, anti-fragile regulatory standards. My work bypasses bureaucratic stagnation to unlock measurable capital delivery, converting high-level urban design visions into high-performance, legally codified public assets.

Forged in New Orleans, a city defined by its existential climate stakes, my approach treats constraints not as liabilities, but as operational parameters. I convert high-level policy to system performance, translating goals into actionable technical standards. Resilience must scale.

My work translates ecological complexity, social equity indicators, and risk data into resilient frameworks, ensuring that organizational strategies are environmentally accountable, ethical, and operationally resilient.

Process

My process is systematic and adaptable. I can audit your existing policies and goals, select an appropriate framework, benchmark performance against those metrics, and report results in an easily understandable format.

1

Policy Audit

I analyze your existing sustainability policies, social impact goals, and economic measures. I audit your existing framework to ensure alignment with organizational goals, and if missing ESG policies are identified, I author custom, defensive frameworks tailored to protect your brand and ensure regulatory compliance.

Framework Selection

I evaluate your organizational ecosystem to select the ideal compliance structure. Whether we adopt a trusted global standard like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or GRESB, or create a custom framework tailored to your needs, I establish a clear data strategy that ensures your metrics are set up for actionable success.

Benchmarking

Comparing your actual operational performance against your selected ESG framework metrics is my core step. I run gap analyses to precisely gauge your compliance, identify performance deficits, and establish clear, data-driven milestones that ensure your organization meets its sustainability targets.

Reporting

Synthesizing complex performance metrics into clear, audit-ready disclosures is the last step. I translate raw carbon, social impact, and governance data into comprehensive reports aligned with top global standards, ensuring your sustainability performance is transparently communicated, defensible to stakeholders, and positioned to maximize value.

Experience and Expertise

For over 15 years, I’ve taken massive, complex resilience frameworks and translated them into real performance. My entire career is dedicated to bridging the gap between high-level policy and ground-level performance.

I’ve spent over a decade aligning multi-jurisdictional goals with hard operational realities. In New Orleans, that meant facilitating post-Katrina recovery initiatives and successfully negotiating with the Army Corps of Engineers to get large shade trees planted directly into a primary French Quarter levee. In Charlotte, it meant authoring the city's green infrastructure framework to hardcode pollution-removal metrics straight into the street design DNA.

I build defensive, data-driven systems that work. This background provides the exact mix of bureaucratic navigation and technical grit needed to scale environmental impacts and infrastructure resilience across complex, high-stakes organizations.
