Hello! I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Nevada, Reno, where I have been working since 2017. As an environmental social scientist, I research and teach about environmental policy, with a focus on collaborative water governance in the western United States. I also study urban water management, disaster policy (wildfire, flooding, pandemics), environmental regulatory processes, and policy process theory. My diverse and interdisciplinary research group conducts innovative work on a variety of environmental and social policy issues. When I'm not working, I'm likely riding and/or racing my cyclocross bicycles across the Sierra Nevada region.
