About Me
.
I received my PhD from the joint doctoral program at San Diego State University and the University of California Santa Barbara, focusing on climate modeling and qualitative methods in the Brazilian Amazon and local studies on winegrape suitability and adaptation in Southern California. My goal is to leverage my skills in analysis, management, and communication to address critical climate issues and enhance regional resilience.
On a more personal note, I love heading down to the beach (although it’s not as often as I would like), catching up with family and friends over a nice meal or glass of wine, and watching the many beautiful sunsets San Diego has to offer. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments you may have!
