I am an interdisciplinary marine social scientist interested in knowledge, values, equity, and power in coastal governance and management, especially in fisheries and fishing dependent communities. I primarily approach my work through critical and feminist informed geographies, science & technology studies, political ecology, and sociology. I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State University supporting research on human dimensions of offshore wind development, focusing on community benefits and impacts.
