Biography, Education and Training
I seek to better understand the complex drivers of change in coupled human-natural systems through mixed-method fieldwork and analysis. I consider how formal and informal institutions influence customary management and access to natural resources in the Micronesian islands of Kiribati. Ultimately, I hope to inform governance that assists communities experiencing disproportionate environmental impacts, such as small-scale fishers.
