data analyst

Sarah contributes to the development of the Smart Surfaces Coalition’s Benefit-Cost Analysis Tool (BCAT), Decision Support Tool (DST), and Project Design Platform. She supports the Coalition’s analytical and research initiatives to quantify the benefits of smart surface interventions, including energy, infrastructure, public health, and stormwater impacts.

Sarah earned her M.S. in Computational Social Science from the University of California, San Diego, where she completed a capstone project in collaboration with the Center for Community Energy. Her research focused on developing methods to quantify how electric vehicle batteries could discharge energy back to the grid to reduce peak electricity demand and support California’s transition to clean energy.

She began her work at SSC as a Data Analyst Intern and now continues in a full-time role. She is excited to continue supporting the Smart Surfaces Coalition’s mission to advance data-driven resilience planning.
