I am an early-career environmental social scientist studying how communities adapt to emerging compound hazards through governance and population change. My doctoral work focuses on how adaptation governance shapes migratory responses to flooding in a range of geographies. I am training in mixed methods to investigate climate change adaptation and population change to inform community responses and planning.
I’m affiliated with the UNC Flood Hydrology and Hazards Lab, the Carolinas Collaborative on Climate, Health, and Equity, and the American Geophysical Union Thriving Earth Exchange.
Prior to doctoral studies, I earned undergrad degrees in environmental science and government and worked for the City of Austin as an applied geographer and data analyst. I hail from Central Texas. Tacos, live music, and oak-juniper canyonlands give me life.
