About Me

I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at the University of Illinois. I joined Dr. Carena van Riper’s research group as a graduate student in Fall 2017, and share the group's core interests in values and pro-environmental behavior.

​

Focusing on aquatic social-ecological systems, my research aims to understand relationships between values, risk perceptions, and behavior with an applied goal of informing communication strategies for environmental outreach. Interdisciplinary collaboration and involving stakeholders and practitioners at multiple stages of the research process are key components of my work.
