About Me
I’m a social scientist, resilience researcher, and data nerd interested in what happens when environmental risk meets the places people actually live.
My work combines social science, spatial analysis, and community resilience. I use R, GIS, and real-world data to study flooding, housing, insurance, and vulnerability, and turn that information into something communities can actually use.
I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology studying inequities in disaster impacts and recovery, and now work on applied resilience projects across coastal Mississippi. At the heart of my work is a love for using data to answer questions that matter to real places and real people.
