Welcome to the digital platform of my academic journey through the Lewis & Clark College Environmental Studies Program! From the very first weeks of Introduction to Environmental Studies in the spring of 2014, I have been documenting my experience of learning (and un-learning) the complex and enriching field of environmental studies. Through a wide variety of interdisciplinary courses in  history, economics, literature, philosophy, and geology, my understanding of the environment of Environmental Studies has grown and changed almost everyday. My senior year saw two culminating projects: a thesis on John Keats for my degree in English Literature and thesis on earthquake literature for Environmental Studies. In the fall of 2017, I will begin a 2 year masters program in Environmental Humanities at the University of Utah. This website is a living archive of my reflections, struggles, experiments, and breakthroughs. Thanks for visiting!

About Me

I am graduating from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon with a BA in English and Environmental Studies. I explore the power stories have to render and transform places, people, and systems. Through my undergraduate scholarship, I aim to better articulate the relationships between humanity and place by examining lessons from the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences in conversation.
