I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Saint Louis University. I recently completed two years as an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow. I earned a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2021. My ethnographic research focuses on the intersection of human-water relationships and climate governance.

I hold a Master of Science degree from Florida International University where I combined social and natural science methods to examine the transformations of coffee landscapes within Indigenous conserved forest areas in the Sierra Norte, Oaxaca, Mexico.

As an undergraduate student at Drexel University in Philadelphia, I studied marine biology and played soccer. I also spent a semester sailing with Sea Education Association (class P-180) around the North Pacific. I conducted my co-op projects in Florida, Midway Atoll, and Alaska, which set the stage for my future interdisciplinary research.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, bird watching, science fiction, exploring the mountains in Colorado, and learning about the in the Mississippi River basin.
