I am a graduate student at the University of New Mexico in the Department of Geography and
Environmental Studies.
I am enrolled in the MS program and work as an instructor of record for a GIS laboratory course (GEOG
1115L). I am a member of the Geospatial Artificial Intelligence Research and Visualization Laboratory
(GeoAIR)
lab directed by Dr. Liping Yang, to learn more about our lab watch a brief lab vision video (see the video
and our website).
My research interests include:
- climate change
- climate change adaptation
- nature-based solutions
- geovisualization
- GIScience
- geospatial artificial intelligence (geoAI)
- web development
- science communication
You can visit my Research page
to see my CV, publications, and more of my interests. Visit the Web App page to
see a web map I
co-developed that visualizes riparian vegetation along the Rio Grande (

I am also an active member of United Graduate Workers, the union for assistantship holders at UNM. We are a part of the United Electrical National Union, local 1466. I volunteer as a steward for the Geography department. I am passionate about workers rights and uplifting my peers.
In addition to academic endeavors I am an artist, I am keen to work in different mediums. My art is
playful, colorful, and sometimes a little odd (See my
art
page).
I also enjoy writing poetry, reading science fiction
and fantasy, hiking and hanging out with my cats. My personal life goals are to live close to nature and
with a few goats. My personal philosophies revolve around empathy, kindness, seeking serenity and the value
in
non-human animals, plants, and geologies. I value being a good listener and adaptable.
