| Bio |
| I'm currently enrolled in the PhD program at the University of Vermont,
having moved to Burlington in 2005. Prior to UVM, I lived and worked
in Chicago, as an environmental consultant, specializing in the
restoration of native wetland, prairie, and savanna ecosystems in the
Midwestern U.S. I completed my M.S. from Arizona State University in
2002. For my master’s research, I studied the relationships between
groundwater pumping and ecosystem health of the San Pedro River in
southeastern Arizona, focusing specifically on riparian plant
communities. I have also studied tropical plant taxonomy in Central
and South America. I also completed a B.A. in botany and environmental
studies from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1999, and grew up in the
western suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. My CV |
| Research Interests |
| My research at UVM focuses on ecological economics, a field that seeks
to balance the scale of the human economy with that of the natural
economy, on which life in general and our society in particular
depends. Ecological economics uses some traditional economic concepts
and tools as well as methods developed from a variety of natural and
social sciences to address key questions about economics and the
natural environment. My specific research
interests include: For more information about ecological economics, see the links below: Ecological Economics overview Ecological Economics links |
