I'm a PhD Student and Presidential Fellow in the Department of Geography at the University of South Carolina. As a human-environment geographer and political ecologist, I study the impact of global capital, state power, and infrastructure development on vulnerable communities.

I earned my Master's in Geography at the University of Oregon and Bachelor's in Geography/Environmental Studies at UCLA, and have conducted qualitative and quantitative fieldwork in the U.S., Ghana, Botswana, and Australia. Prior to graduate school, I was also an AmeriCorps Member at the American Red Cross.
