About Me
I am a Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences with a passion for coastal geomorphology and wildlife ecology. My research focuses on the critical challenges coastal systems face in a rapidly changing climate. By combining numerical models, machine learning, and socio-ecological data, I aim to develop innovative management strategies that enable both human and wildlife communities to adapt and thrive. Through co-production with local stakeholders and collaborations with state and federal agencies, my work bridges research and action, offering practical solutions for sustainable and resilient coastal management.
