I am a multidisciplinary and an interdisciplinary scientist currently pursuing my PhD at Baylor University. My primary interests include understanding human use and conservation of water resources and understanding how those resources will evolve with efforts to protect them for future use and utilize them more effectively (or lack of such protections). I have other interests in the dynamics of power and how those play out in water systems worldwide and enjoy using geographic information systems to understand both natural and social systems within given areas. I hope to use my interdisciplinary understanding of both social science (psychology) and earth science (hydrology and hydrogeology) to assist in ensuring a more balanced future where water resource allocation is less defined by a top down model and becomes more universally equitable.
