About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). Before coming to UNCW, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.

​

I previously worked as the Executive Director for the Southeast and Caribbean Disaster Resilience Partnership (SCDRP) where I help connected recovery and resilience professionals with one another to accelerate recovery funds, explored innovative adaptation strategies, and shared best practices and resources to advance resiliency in the U.S. Southeast and the Caribbean.
