I am a quantitative social-environmental scientist focused on the feedbacks between increasingly globalized food systems and the environment, with an emphasis on seafood systems.
I graduated from Miami University in 2011 with a Bachelor's degree in Zoology and Environmental Science. While at Miami, I conducted research on green advertising with Dr. Stacey Lowery Bretz and lake carbon storage with Dr. Michael Vanni. In 2009, I spent a semester at the University of Ghana studying oceanography and resource management. My time there influenced my interest in fisheries systems and the role of fisheries in food security.
During my PhD I worked with Dr. Michael Pace in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia. My dissertation research focused on global seafood trade, the trade-offs between seafood and terrestrial food production, and the implications for food security.
I am now a postdoctoral fellow at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center where my work seeks to connect environmental change and variability to nutrition outcomes within the seafood sector using scenario analysis, network analysis, and mixed methods approaches.
