After completing a Ph.D. studying remote sensing of the cryosphere at Lehigh University (PA), she worked as a postdoc at the USDA’s Hydrology and Remote Sensing Lab. Her current work interests focus on the nexus of science, art, and community, with an emphasis on floods, climate change, and social science research related to risk communication.
