I am an environmental policy scholar with research interests in collaborative governance, water governance, heat governance. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate with Climate Assessment for the Southwest and College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture at the University of Arizona focusing on heat resilience and governance research. I am a core member of Heat Resilience Initiative. I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market.

 

Previously, I held a postdoctoral position at the Center for Behavior, Institutions, and the Environment at Arizona State University, where I focused on behavioral research in an area of environment and climate. I earned my PhD in Government and Public Policy from the University of Arizona with a focus on collaborative water governance. I am a mixed-method scholar, employing game experiments, survey experiments, text analysis, and interview techniques.

​

In Spring 2026, I co-teach undergraduate course on environmental policy at University of Arizona. Previously, I have taught introductory public policy and administraton and upper-division undergraduate public organizational management at University of Arizona.
