Bio

I am a conservation GIS scholar who uses geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and ecology for environmental projects that work towards a future where humans live sustainably with the natural environment.  Ats of Fall 2026, I am an Assistant Professor at Western Illinois University in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Geographic Information Sciences.

General Research Interests

My interests lie in biodiversity conservation, sustainability, and the use of remote sensing to complement conservation and sustainability work. A key goal of my research is to better anthropogenic changes and disturbances to the environment to make more informed and well-rounded conservation decisions. I do this using an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from the fields of ecology, geography, particularly GIS and remote sensing,  and anthropology.
