Welcome

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Kansas State University. I study nature-society interactions and engage with the human dimensions of environmental governance through a political ecological lens.

My current projects examine technology use in prescribed fire, water fund conservation programs in Latin America, and rural perceptions of wildfire interaction with conservation lands in the Great Plains.
