I am a political ecologist and human geographer. My work is situated at the nexus of environmental governance, sustainability, legal geography, and political economy. I received my PhD in geography from Syracuse University in 2023. My current project explores the contestation and creation of large-scale logistics sites in North America. I examine corporate claims to sustainability, resource use, and the environmental and labor movements that have formed in resistance to logistics infrastructure. In addition, my scholarship focuses on water policy and environmental conflict in water scarce locations. In both my research and teaching, I am guided by questions surrounding environmental justice, sustainability, and how the law and grassroots social movements coalesce to shape environmental conflict and policy.
