I am an interdisciplinary social scientist and community-engaged scholar with a background in human geography (PhD, University of Kansas) and urban studies (MUS, Portland State University). I have diverse research interests, including people-place relationships and human-environment interactions.
I am currently the Conservation Social Scientist at the WA Department of Fish and Wildlife, with a Courtesy Faculty appointment with the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences at Oregon State University and an Affiliate Assistant Professor status in the School of Environmental and Forestry Sciences at the University of Washington.
