I am an early-career scientist studying how flood hazards shape, alter, and sustain communities and landscapes across space and time. My research aims at connecting the physical and social dimensions of flood risk to ensure that the benefits and safety provided by hazard management and climate adaptation strategies are equitably distributed now and into the future. Currently, I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Earth, Marine and Environmental Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I am a part of the Flood Hazards and Hydrology Lab.
