I am an occupancy planning and workplace strategy expert.

I combine data analytics with design thinking to help organizations navigate the complexities of the modern-day hybrid work environment.

I have worked with clients ranging from Bank of America to Google, and every industry in-between, tackling some of the toughest challenges facing the workplace today, shaping my identity as a strategist, analyst, and designer.

  • I excel, no pun intended, at translating complex occupancy data into clear, actionable strategies that align with organizational goals. By piecing together occupancy needs, workplace behaviors, and business objectives, I create roadmaps that guide successful workplace transformations.

  • My analytical expertise centers on gathering and interpreting occupancy data to drive informed decision-making. I have a knack for discerning patterns, identifying trends, and uncovering connections that others may have overlooked.

    I love diving into a dataset and working through a complex problem. Oh, and did I mention that I build calculators in Excel for fun?

  • To me, design thinking is more than a methodology—it's a mindset that empowers me to think boldly and creatively. I use an iterative problem-solving approach to ensures that occupancy strategies are not just data-driven, but also human-centered and practical to implement.

I help my clients develop a clear understanding of their real estate and workplace needs, allowing them to make data-driven decisions based on more than a feeling.
