I work to translate the research done by Woodwell Climate’s scientists into meaningful policy outcomes both domestically and internationally. I focus on the intersection between climate and security, helping policymakers understand the ways in which climate change will exacerbate conflict and threaten national security. I also support Woodwell’s Just Access work, helping frontline communities adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
My experience working with communities to implement creative, localized measures to address climate change has highlighted the importance of focusing on empathy, justice, and nonpartisanship in our work. Prior to joining Woodwell Climate, I worked to highlight community concerns and advocate for federal and local climate legislation with Protect Our Winters, the Farmlink Project, and the Harvard Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability.
I attended Harvard University, where a class trip brought me to the Center and inspired me to get involved in Woodwell Climate’s work. I graduated with a B.A. in History of Science and Molecular Biology. My love for public lands and the outdoors motivates my work every day, and when I’m not working I can be found skiing, hiking, or swimming in the wild places around Denver.
