PhD Student
Research Interests
I am an Air Force Veteran and current PhD student at CU Boulder in the Environmental Studies Department. I have a B.S. in meteorology, MBA in Sustainable Real Estate Development, and M.S. in Environmental Studies. I’m a CIRES Graduate Student Fellow, IBS Graduate Student Associate, and was previously on Denver’s Sustainability Advisory Counsel, Science and Research Committee.
Current Research
My research interests vary, but I’m currently focused on exploring possible economic and population growth futures and what these futures could mean for society, the environment, and geopolitics. I’m also interested in researching effective strategies for creating favorable environmental policy outcomes. I have experience in different qualitative social science methods and quantitative methods—including data science statistics and dynamic systems modeling.
