I am an interdisciplinary researcher trained in engineering and the social and health sciences, whose work is grounded in environmental health geography with a particular emphasis on social and spatial inequities. My research examines how structurally mediated differences in access to water resources shape patterns of vulnerability and well-being across households. 

I focus on the ways in which disparities in household water access—driven by socioeconomic status, infrastructure, and broader political–ecological contexts—mediate exposure to environmental risks. For instance, I investigate whether access to higher-quality or more reliable water sources can mitigate adverse health outcomes, such as undernutrition, in the face of climatic stressors like drought, and how these protective effects are unevenly distributed across populations. More broadly, my work interrogates the intersecting geographies of water insecurity, food insecurity, and nutrition, highlighting how overlapping forms of marginalization produce unequal health outcomes across diverse social and environmental settings.
