I am a human-environment geographer broadly interested in the ways that people live with water and infrastructure. I received my PhD in 2018 from Florida International University and from 2018 to 2023 was an assistant professor of anthropology and environmental studies at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY. In the summer of 2023 I moved to Chatham University where I am an assistant professor of sustainability and environment.

My current research looks at the ways the people who fish in urban waterways navigate novel terrains of risk as they seek to create new forms of commons.
