A professional civil engineer and urban planner, April’s skills and experience are contributing to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. As the sustainability and resilience lead for our Smart(ER) Mobility team, she provides solutions that encourage shifts to cleaner and more resilient modes such as transit, cycling and walking. Recently, she led a team to develop planning, design, and policy guidelines to address urban quality of life issues that have developed alongside the increase in e-commerce. The report, Delivering the Goods, was published in collaboration with the American Institute of Architects, New York.
April also led the sustainability and resiliency strategy for the Lower Manhattan Battery Coastal Resilience Project. This project uses climate projections for sea level rise in design criteria development and will be the first project in New York City to set greenhouse gas emission limits for construction materials including guidelines for managing materials to promote a circular economy and reduce waste sent to landfills.
Outside of the office, April enjoys exploring cities near and far by bike and nurturing her growing ceramics hobby.
