Research Interests
Broadly I am interested in conservation and development in the developing world. More specifically I am interested in understanding the causes of land use-land cover change in tropical Latin America using methods from quantitative social science along with GIS. Currently I am working at the Carolina Population Center with a project on indigenous land use in Ecuador, where I worked as a Peace Corps volunteer for two years. I am also developing a proposal to study sources of migration to the Ecuadorian Amazon.
