Biography: 

I am a second year graduate student in the Department of Geography and Planning at Appalachian State University. My research focuses on the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to quantify, analyze, and model natural patterns and processes in Appalachia’s watersheds. I also work as the Scholarship Coordinator for the Appalachian Medical Reserve Corps, where I am responsible for leading mapping projects related to public health and emergency preparedness in North Carolina. After graduate school, I am hoping to contribute my skills and experience in both public health and fluvial geomorphology towards watershed management, considering both environmental conservation and community resilience.
