About: My research interests include environmental and climate statistics, computational statistics, extremes, and actuarial science. I'm particularly interested in measuring and quantifying environmental risks, studying impacts of climate change on these risks, and exploring possible insurance solutions. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, and various programs within the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries.

I completed my doctorate in Statistics and Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I also completed degrees from the State University of New York College at Geneseo and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2010 I became an Associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society.

I'm originally from a small town in the Hudson river valley of New York State, and love all things "upstate." In my spare time I enjoy long-distance running, reading books about long-distance running, and serving as an unpaid Uber driver of my two children.
