I am a J.D-Ph.D. Candidate in environmental policy with a concentration in political science at Duke University.

I research the ways that climate change impacts human security and the legal and policy solutions therein. Most recently, my work has focused on climate migration and immobility, with a focus on the role of policymakers in intentionally promoting or unintentionally restraining agency around decisions to move in the face of climate disasters. I am committed to policy-engaged applied research and have worked directly with agencies and organizations including UNFCCC, USAID, USIP, Oxfam, UNICEF, IOM, and the OSCE.

I hold a B.A. in International Relations, a B.A. in Gender and Sexuality Studies, and an M.A. in Environmental Communications from Stanford University. Prior to my time at Duke, I worked as a consultant for a diversity and inclusion firm, Inclusion Design Group.
