I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Sustainability and Education M.A. program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where I teach courses on climate change, sustainability, and education. I completed my Ph.D. in Science Education at Teachers College in 2026, with research focused on how young people learn, develop identities, and take action around climate change.

My work sits at the intersection of climate and science education, sustainability, research, and public engagement. Through the TC Center for Sustainable Futures, I have helped develop and lead climate education initiatives for New York City educators, including a transdisciplinary climate summer institute in collaboration with Columbia University's Learning the Earth with Artificial Intelligence and Physics (LEAP) Center.

Across my teaching, research, and programmatic work, I collaborate with educators, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and community partners to explore a central question: What does it look like to make meaningful climate change education accessible to all learners?

My dissertation research extends this question beyond formal classrooms, examining science learning and identity development within youth climate activism and how young people come to understand themselves as knowers and actors in response to the climate crisis.
