My research explores the intersection of the Sense of Coherence (SOC) framework and disaster resilience, with a focus on hurricane-prone communities in Southeastern North Carolina. I investigate how physical, social, and cultural "anchors of coherence" can be leveraged through design to enhance long-term recovery and community resilience. My work emphasizes social justice, aiming to amplify the voices of marginalized communities in disaster recovery processes. I have a background in Architecture, with both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the field. I am committed to interdisciplinary approaches and have expanded my knowledge through coursework and training in urban design, psychology, public health, GIS, and community asset mapping. My research aims to provide innovative, inclusive, and practical solutions for building resilient communities in the face of climate change and natural disasters.
