About Me

Recent Gonzaga University graduate in Economics and Environmental Studies, focused on using data to inform environmental and land use decisions. In one project, I used GIS buffer analysis and spatial joins to examine the relationship between proximity to industrial air-emitting facilities and asthma prevalence across Washington State, finding that communities near the highest-emitting facilities had notably elevated asthma rates. I've also used R for econometric analysis of health expenditure and health outcomes across OECD countries, and worked on a campus sustainability audit applying life cycle assessment to reduce textile waste. Currently seeking entry-level data/research analyst roles in environmental and land use consulting in Washington, California, and New York.
