I am an interdisciplinary scientist that works at the intersection of water, land use, and policy.
My current role at EDF involves leading applied research that informs resilience efforts. I develop and lead research in collaboration with other EDF staff and external researchers. I work with a diverse range of stakeholders to promote science-based policies that enhance community resilience to flooding.
Before EDF, I conducted applied environmental research on coastal watershed hydrology, water quality, and recurrent flooding while at UNC Chapel Hill.
