I work to bridge the language gap between policy, finance, science, and social science. I hope to provide practitioners with valuable tools, resources, and knowledge to scale marine conservation efforts that include social justice and equity. My research interests include the intersection of marine science and international law, blue carbon policy, community engagement, and biodiversity and carbon credit finance.

While pursuing my PhD, I am also working as a Principal Associate (Coastal Wetlands and Coral Reefs) for the Pew Charitable Trusts.
