I am a Program Manager for Climate Research + Engagement at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC.

Before joining the Museum, I spent a decade in academia. I earned a PhD in History from Duke University in 2020, where, among other things, I wrote a dissertation on management-based regulation in food safety in the twentieth century.

From 2021-2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at NC State University, where I worked closely with scientists and engineers on topics as varied as nanotechnology in food and agriculture to sweetpotatoes to phosphorus sustainability.

I have been active in the BHC since 2017.
