I am a PhD candidate at the Princeton School of Public & International Affairs in the Science, Technology, & Environmental Policy program. My research on climate adaptation policy interweaves topics in multi-level governance, environmental justice, urban planning, and behavioral science. I am also the lead instructor for a co-taught Environmental Justice course with the NJ Prison Teaching Initiative, and previously worked as a Graduate Fellow at both the NYC Mayor's Office of Climate & Environmental Justice and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
Prior to my PhD, I served for 5 years as the first Sustainability Program Manager at Swarthmore College (in the Philadelphia metropolitan area), helping to launch the Office of Sustainability and to facilitate environmental and climate institutional decision-making. I also hold an MSc in Sustainable Urban Development from the University of Oxford and a BA in Psychology from Swarthmore.
