Profile

I have worked a lot of jobs: as a public school teacher, fishmonger, backpacking guide, warehouse picker, and environmental educator. Each of these jobs has contributed to my understanding of the role labor must play in the climate crisis. I'm a graduate student in history in order to understand the ways that labor has engaged with environmental challenges in the past in order to contribute to our socioecological struggles today. 

My research focuses on the labor, environment, political economy, and capital that produced the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System. In addition to my research, I enjoy working with undergraduates in the classroom, trail-running, backcountry skiing, producing my labor podcast "Talkin' Shop", and organizing with the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (GTFF-AFT 3544).
