Graduate Research Assistant
Portland State University
As a Geospatial Data Scientist, I seek to discover spatial and temporal patterns that reveal key relationships between humans and their environment. Unlocking this knowledge is crucial to finding solutions to the ever-growing environmental, economic, and humanitarian impacts in this anthropogenic world. To attack this challenge, I integrate a diverse skillset in geospatial analytics, machine learning, big data computing, and cartography into my research. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Geography from Portland State University with the Global Environmental Change lab. My masters' thesis is focused on using remotely-sensed and field-based observations to identify the multi-scalar, spatio-temporal patterns and drivers of post-fire delayed tree mortality following large, severe wildfires in the western Oregon Cascades.
