About

I am a strategic leader and applied social environmental scientist with more than a decade of experience with advancing resilience and environmental governance research in Africa, Central Asia, Latin America, and the southwestern United States. I offer a unique combination of scientific rigor and practical leadership. I am deeply committed to building more resilient and equitable futures worldwide through evidence-based decision-making, equity, and cross-cultural collaboration.

I have led multi-million-dollar United States federal-funded programs, authored peer-reviewed journal articles and reports to NGOs and governments, and facilitated global research partnerships to support climate adaptation research and action. I have facilitated high-impact workshops that convened early career researchers and stakeholders from dozens of universities across Africa and Latin America.

I hold a PhD in Environmental Social Sciences from the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University and a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in International Studies and Russian/Slavic Studies from the University of Arizona.

Mission

Working within the the nexus of science, policy, and practice, I advance research and entrepreneurial efforts.
