I am a 4th generation South Floridian. I have a Bachelor's from Florida State University and a Master's from Florida International University in Environmental Studies. I am now beginning my first semester as a PhD student in the Department of Geographical Sciences at UMD. My research is focused on freshwater resource modeling and management. I love nature and traveling, so I am usually camping every chance I get.
