Hi there, welcome to my website! I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Vermont and the Transportation Research Center (TRC). My research interests include human mobility and behavior in natural disasters, transportation equity and justice, and unmet travel needs. My research takes an interdisciplinary and human-focused approach to engineering problems, combining mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) approaches characteristic of the social sciences with methods like transportation simulation and travel behavior modeling. I also have experience using agent-based modeling, travel demand modeling, transportation health impact modeling, and econometric modeling to explore different aspects of sustainable transportation.

I have a B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering and M.S. in Applied Economics, both from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I completed my Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Davis, with an emphasis in transportation engineering. In my free time I enjoy hiking with my dog, photography, and foraging.

I live and work on land which has served as a site of meeting and exchange among indigenous peoples since time immemorial. The Western Abenaki are the traditional caretakers of these Vermont lands and waters, which they call Ndakinna, or “homeland.” I acknowledge and remember their connection to this region and the hardships they continue to endure. I am thankful for the opportunity to share in the bounty of this place and to protect it.
