I am an environmental social scientist and geographer studying how people think about and deal with natural hazards in their daily lives. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a predoctoral trainee in the Carolina Population Center. My research documents climate change impacts and adaptation in terms of residential (im)mobility, labor, and population health.
I earned a B.S. in environmental science and a B.A. in government from the University of Texas at Austin. I previously worked in local government on spatial data systems and stormwater utility planning.
