I am an environmental scientist, conservation policy researcher, and educator with a PhD in Environmental Science and Public Policy whose career sits at the intersection of wildlife conservation, climate change, environmental policy, biodiversity governance, and scientific research. My experience with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, George Mason University, and Carbon Scorecard has given me a combination of federal conservation experience, climate-policy research, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and strong scientific and policy communication skills. I have a particular depth in wildlife management, endangered species policy, international biodiversity governance, climate-change and biodiversity issues, and translating complex scientific research into policy-relevant insights. My publications and conference presentations further demonstrate my ability to conduct independent research and communicate findings to technical, policy, academic, and broader audiences. Overall, I would describe myself as a research-driven environmental policy professional who brings scientific expertise, conservation experience, policy analysis, and cross-sector collaboration to complex environmental challenges.
