About Me.

I am a sociologist, with a doctorate degree recently completed at the University of California, San Diego, with an emphasis in the subfields of Environmental Sociology, Political Economy, and Law & Society.

Professionally, I have experience as both an academic and as a practitioner. My interests in both capacities intersect and complement each other.
