_About
My name is Meesh Zucker and I work as a Supervisory Community Planner at FEMA in Philadelphia, PA. Together with federal, state, tribal, and local partners, my team develops climate resilience plans and strategic policies to equitably mitigate the impacts for all residents.

Prior to FEMA, I worked as an urban planner at Superpedestrian and graduated from MIT with a Master degree in City Planning. My research at MIT primarily focused on the spatialization of resident and community narratives to reveal the city's historic role in the displacement and erasure of certain social identities. 

Combined I have over ten years of professional experience working as a project manager, urban designer and landscape architect, both in the United States and internationally in Copenhagen.
