Does shifting power to historically excluded groups transform environmental governance from extraction to conservation? This is one of the central questions driving my current research.

I think about the interdependent relationship between humans and their environments: how we shape the ecological systems around us, how we are shaped in turn by the worsening climate crisis, and how these dynamics are impacted by the social hierarchies we live within.

I also enjoy teaching about economics and the environment by encouraging students to approach the world with curiosity, with empathy for our roles and interactions within it, and always through a critical lens.

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in economics at UMass Amherst, advised by Jamie T. Mullins. My research sits at the intersection of environment, development, and inequality. I integrate satellite-based environmental data and GIS methods with administrative records and large-scale survey datasets to examine spatial patterns in resource governance and economic activity.

I’m affiliated with the Institute of Social Science Research as a Quantitative Methods Consultant, where I support research projects across disciplines and teach Stata workshops. I have experience working as the Econometrics and Data Science Fellow at Amherst College's Economics Department where I have mentored undergraduate economics students through theses work.
