I am currently pursuing a master's degree in environmental and medical anthropology. My research explores the cultural ecosystem services provided by public green spaces and their effects on community health, sustainability, and social justice. I study how diverse cultural groups, health institutions, and environmental organizations collaborate within these spaces to combat disease, address climate change, and promote inclusivity and equitable access to nature.

I also serve as a Teaching Assistant for the Environmental Science and Policy Program at the University of Maryland.
