I conduct strategic climate policy research and analysis to support Permafrost Pathways’ policy strategy. My work involves engaging with policymakers, government agencies, Indigenous communities, and Arctic-focused initiatives and organizations to address the impacts of permafrost thaw. I am motivated by the urgent need to address the increasingly severe impacts of climate change.
I appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of climate research and am keenly interested in how the intersection of natural science data, economic research, and policy analysis can contribute to more innovative, holistic, and evidence-based environmental decision-making for climate solutions. My goal is to collaborate across fields to help shape sustainable and equitable policies that will have a meaningful impact on the climate crisis, especially community-based solutions.
I hold a B.S. in marine science-biology and an M.A. in global environmental policy. My previous experience includes roles in climate and environmental policy research, focusing on air quality, environmental justice, and greenhouse gas measurement and monitoring. I have presented my work at international forums, including the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) senior officials meeting.
