I am a PhD candidate at Yale University, where I focus on Environmental Sociology - the ways humans shape our environment, and in return, the way our environment shapes us.

My current research focuses on the interweaving threads of climate change, capitalism, Rights of Nature or “Environmental Personhood”, and the relationships between sovereign Indigenous nations and the American state.

While completing my dissertation research, I work as a freelance consultant, writer, and data-scientist. I have years of experience consulting nonprofits, academic entities, Tribal governments, private companies, and large government bodies in the best ways to use geospatial mapping, data visualization, and clear & concise writing to shape social and ecological regeneration.
