I am a human-environment geographer and anthropologist specializing in the political ecology of Indigenous and rural livelihoods in Amazonia.

My research investigates how the governance of Indigenous territories shapes the conditions under which communities can sustain their livelihoods and remain stewards of their forests.

I am currently a PhD student in the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University. I also serve as a board member of the Conference of Latin American Geography (CLAG).
