I am currently a Program Evaluation Specialist at Censeo Consulting. My current research includes:

  • Environmental and economic impacts of brownfield redevelopment

  • Improving equity in water monitoring and access to federal remediation dollars

  • Increasing adoption of agricultural non-point source pollution management practices

At Penn State, my research focused on:

  • Empirical effects of forested riparian buffers on water quality

  • Nonmarket valuation of cleaner water and benefit distribution through an environmental justice lens

  • Recreational demand for cleaner water

  • Economic experimentation to get willingness-to-pay for public boat washing stations

  • Modeling how boaters travel to identify common routes invasive species are spread (and which non-invaded waterbodies are most vulnerable)

I have a passion for presenting research through novel media such as R-Shiny apps and interactive markdown. My goal is to present meaningful economic findings in a clear, consise, and even fun way for stakeholders, communities, policy makers, and laypersons.
