I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the School of Public Policy at Oregon State University, specializing in  environmental and social policy. My research focuses on community resilience, community engagement, climate change adaptation, social vulnerability, and environmental justice. My current research employs mixed methods, combining household surveys and in-depth interviews to examine community resilience to wildfires in Oregon, USA. Through my research, I am committed to advancing equitable and evidence-based policy solutions that strengthen community resilience in the face of climate change. I am particularly passionate about addressing the disproportionate impacts of environmental hazards on socially vulnerable populations and contributing to more just and resilient communities.
