I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Utah, with a shared appointment between Economics and the School of Environment, Society & Sustainability. I was previously a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University.

My research interests lie broadly in environmental policy, conservation, and the societal impacts of environmental change. I am particularly excited about applications of remote sensing or biodiversity data in combination with methods of causal inference. I also aim to engage with policymakers and NGOs to translate my science into more effective policy.

I earned my Ph.D. at UCSB's Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, where I worked as a researcher for emLab on interdisciplinary projects funded by CGIAR's Standing Panel on Impact Assessment and the Arnhold Family Foundation. 

When not thinking about environmental economics, I can be found hiking on one of the local trails with my dog or casting a fly to a hungry trout.
