My interests in geography are broadly human-environment interactions and issues of environment and development in Latin America. My thesis dealt with issues of migration and the feminization of agriculture in southeast Mexico. I also worked on a project that explored the human dimensions of water quality and adoption of best management practices among dairy farmers in northern Utah. At the U of A, I will be shifting my focus to issues of water quantity and looking at how urbanization and climate change affect water use and water management in northern Mexico.
Project Involvement:
