Research Interests

I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Geography. Prior to CU, a significant part of my research background is in ecology and conservation science. I received a Master of Environmental Management (M.E.M) from the Yale School of the Environment in 2022. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2018 with double majors in economics and environmental science.

My previous research projects span studying wildlife-human coexistence, avian foraging ecology, fisheries and marine conservation policy, and sustainable development.

Current Research

I foucs on using interdisciplinary and mixed method approaches to understand how wildfires impact biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes. I am also interested in understanding how to foster sustainable human-nature relationships in areas experiencing intense land-use modification and/or across geo-political boundaries using solution-based approaches.
