As the Program Director for Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative (ND-GAIN), I work to facilitate a robust research agenda and expands the usefulness and understanding of several ND-GAIN products, including the Country Index and Urban Adaptation Assessment. I communicate with end-users and stakeholders, as well as internal and external partners, to increase the visibility and impact of ND-GAIN outputs. I bring experience in policy analysis, program evaluation, and natural resource management to my role. Prior to work at ND-GAIN, I was the Resident Hatfield Fellow for the National Policy Consensus Center where I researched factors for successful organizational collaboration. I received my Master of International Public Affairs from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
