/*-->*/ I am an environmental economist working primarily on conservation and sustainability issues in developing countries. Combining a microeconomic framework with theory and tools from ecology and biogeography, my research focuses on understanding the drivers of landscape change, quantifying the impacts on ecosystems and human welfare, and evaluating policies like protected areas and Forest Sustainability Council (FSC) certification. I hold a PhD from Duke University (NC) and a dual BA in Biology and Economics from Bryn Mawr College (PA).
