I am a social science researcher at the University of Arizona pursuing my MA in Geography. At the University of Arizona, I work with Dr. Andrea Gerlak and Dr. Greg Barron-Gafford to study the social aspects of agrivoltaics. Before attending the University of Arizona, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Consumer Economics with minors in Urban Planning and Sustainability, Energy, and Environment at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have been conducting research since 2020, first through independent studies and then the Bock Agricultural Law and Policy Program in the Agricultural & Consumer Economics Department at the University of Illinois before joining the Barron-Gafford Lab at the University of Arizona. I am primarily interested in studying the social implications of the clean energy transition, focusing on rural communities.
