I am a human-environment geographer with a broad range of interests.  This website is designed mainly for undergraduate and graduate students to learn briefly about my approach to teaching and research, because I’ve found that many students are hesitant to approach professors directly.  In my research, I like to study how humans help create different environments, both intentionally and unintentionally.  In my teaching, I like to encourage students to pursue their interests, while also learning to understand the interests of others.  If you’re curious about my work or in something we’ve discussed in class, please don’t be shy but introduce yourself and share your knowledge and experience with me.
