I’m a Clean Energy Policy Analyst at the Center for Progressive Reform. Previously, I had Postdoctoral Research appointments at the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources at Colorado State University, and the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan . I received my Ph.D. from the School of Environment and Natural Resources at the Ohio State University, specializing in Environmental Social Sciences. My research interests are centered around the study of climate change and energy governance, social-ecological systems -such as wildfires, water management, and invasive species-, and energy democracy. My current research projects apply network analysis and computational social science tools to the study of wildfire adaptation in the face of climate change, institutional complexity associated with non-point source pollution, and aquatic invasive species management in the Great Lakes.
