About Me

I am a PhD Candidate at McGill University in Montreal, Canada where I am researching freshwater and sanitation issues in Alaska and Northern Canada. In 2011, I received an MSc in Water Science, Policy and Management from the University of Oxford, after graduating from Stanford University in June 2010 with a B.S. in Earth Systems, Oceans Track. I am a freelance writer and have written for Routledge, Power Magazine, Friends of the Earth, SGI News, the World Bank, the Island Press, and others. I have lived and worked overseas, including for a small renewable energy NGO on the Thai-Burmese border. For four years I was a water-energy analyst and consultant for the Thirsty Energy initiative at the World Bank.
