Broadly speaking, I am interested in the areas of overlap between conservation ecology, applied behavioral science, data analytics, and environmental policy. My research focuses on the manifold ways science (and policy) can provide enduring, effective, efficient, and equitable solutions to problems in ecology, biology, and the environment, and increasingly in the context of coral reef ecosystems and their conservation. From fishermen to college freshmen to you and me, we all stand to gain from our planet's well-being and suffer in its deterioration. As such, my research tackles the alignment issue of how we can make the right thing to do the easy thing to do in stakeholders.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Princeton in 2016, where I conducted research assessing the relative roles of fish assemblages and sea urchins (Diadema antillarum) on Caribbean coral reef health for my Senior Thesis. In the time following, I spent a year on a Princeton in Asia fellowship teaching at a boarding school in Thailand, a year conducting behavioral research on gelada monkeys (Theropithecus gelada) in the highlands of Ethiopia, and several months surveying coral reefs in Dominica and hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in California, Oregon, and Washington. In my spare time, you can find me scuba diving, snowboarding, hiking, taking pictures of wildlife, or playing most sports.
