I am a recently minted Master of Marine Affairs trained at the University of Washington School of Marine and Environmental Affairs. My work specializes in applying the human dimensions of ocean and coastal governance to create efficient, equitable, and just policies in the context of climate change and coastal adaptation. My graduate training and certificate in International Development Policy and Management have fostered interdisciplinary thought and skills in the life cycle of policymaking to account for the dynamic and interconnected nature of 21st-century environmental challenges. I am seeking a job where I can apply my background and training to new contexts, and am committed to supporting ocean and coastal policy development and implementation through community-centered approaches that inform socio-cultural, ecological, economic, and political resiliency and sustainability.
