I am a Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in Earth, Marine, and Environmental Science with a focus on coastal geomorphology. My research addresses the pressing challenges facing barrier islands in a changing climate. By integrating geomorphological modeling with social and ecological data, I aim to develop adaptive management strategies that help communities and ecosystems thrive amidst environmental shifts. Through a co-produced approach with local stakeholders and partnerships with state and federal agencies, my work offers actionable insights for resilient coastal management.
