Sustainability Leadership Fellowship Cohort: 2013-2014

Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Forest & Rangeland Stewardship

Research Summary: As a PhD candidate and research assistant in the department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship, I focus on issues of environmental governance and natural resource policy. My current research investigates incentive-based watershed programs in the western United States. Growing up in a rural environment instilled in me an ethic for land stewardship at an early age, which is reflected in my exploration of the linkages between people and their actions on land.
