I’m a quantitative social scientist who is passionate about using social data to inform strategy and to address pressing issues like climate change. I collaborate across disciplines, I communicate research findings, and I work for a more just, equitable, environmentally stable future. I am fascinated by how people interpret information differently, how they form perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes on important social issues, and how those attitudes translate into varying social and political behaviors. I aim to use this understanding to find common ground and make progress. Previously, I worked for about a decade as a practitioner in science communication – connecting science and scientists to policy makers, the media, and the public.
