I help to develop metrics of current and future climate risk by processing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial climate data and Earth observations to enhance community decision-making in response to the climate crisis. I am currently investigating hydrological risks to energy infrastructure focusing on hydropower and nuclear energy which will help identify potential future generation, operation, and efficiency challenges due to climate risks at the plant level.

I have long been interested in understanding and studying the environment through a scientific perspective. Before joining Woodwell Climate, I worked for the NASA DEVELOP National Program, contributing to projects that included crop yield forecasting in Argentina and detecting flooding impact in Central America from Hurricanes Eta and Iota to support decision-makers. I was also a NASA DEVELOP Fellow, managing projects that applied Earth observations in ecological conservation, water resources, agriculture, disasters, climate, and urban development.

I received my B.A. in environmental science and M.S. in geographic information science from Clark University. I currently live on the New Hampshire Seacoast, where I grew up, and in my time outside of work I enjoy going on beach walks, reading comics, and pursuing art.
