BIO

I'm a second year master's student in Anthony D'Amato's lab. My research focus is on institutional barriers to climate change adaptation and the exchange of different knowledge systems among State, Tribal and industrial forestry sectors in Maine. I graduated from Brandeis University in 2015 and prior to starting graduate school worked both throughout the east coast and in Colorado. I spent time as an environmental educator, Forest Service ranger, and program analyst and researcher at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC). In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside, doing yoga, and spending time with family and friends.

Prospective graduate students interested in learning more about research and experiences in the Rubenstein School may contact me.

Area(s) of expertise
