About me
I am a PhD candidate at Stanford University in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. My research interests lie at the intersection of science and policy for robust decision-making to address complex environmental challenges. My current work uses interdisciplinary perspectives and data-driven models to examine the changing dynamics of water supply and demand in California, design innovative decision-support tools, and promote regional coordination for the diversification of water supplies. I have led and collaborated in various research projects through Stanford University’s Water in the West program and the NSF Engineering Research Center for Re-inventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt).
Prior to coming to Stanford, I earned a B.S. with Honors in Environmental Sciences in 2013 and a M.S. in Environmental Engineering in 2014 from the University of Arizona (UA). As an undergraduate and masters’ student, I was a researcher in the UA Superfund Research Program, where I conducted technical and analytical work as part of an interdisciplinary team at the science-policy interface of arsenic contamination in the environment.
While living in Arizona, I was exposed to the complexity of water issues in the West, which sparked my interest in water resources planning and management. My past and present experiences have deepened my understanding that environmental issues require interdisciplinary perspectives, collaborative work between stakeholders, and effective science translation to engage different audiences. I strive to pursue a career where I can use both my technical and communication skills to make an impact in advancing robust environmental management practices.
