I am a PhD Candidate in the Environmental Science, Policy, and Management Department at UC Berkeley. I advance quantitative methods to better understand and predict water resource dynamics under human, natural, and climate-driven influences. My Ph.D. focuses on how the expansion of the North American beaver could influence water storage and river flow regimes in California’s Sierra Nevada. I combine hydrologic modeling and remote sensing tools. Before coming to Berkeley I earned a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and Spanish from Skidmore College, and I conducted research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the U.S. Geological Survey. I am co-advised by Dr. Albert Ruhi and Dr. Manuela Girotto.
