Modelling cascading climate events on the human/cultural/social realm.

I am a PhD student studying cascading climate risks on the human/cultural/social realm. I’m interested in providing actionable climate adaptation information for local governments.

Previously, I worked at Woodwell Climate Risk Center on their Risk team preparing risk assessments for both municipalities and investors. Depending on out partners’ needs, I researched how climate change would affect a broad range of topics. Some of my research topics included: Canadian wine, Congolese artisanal mining, European renewables, human migration, and the ability to drive on lake ice. Before that, I worked for both Park City, Utah and Summit County, Utah. I was a sustainability analyst focused on climate action. 

I received my bachelor’s in Physics and Math from the University of Vermont and my master’s in Climate Change from University College London.
