Some Info The long term goal of my research program is to better understand how human motivations and perspectives are influenced by economic incentives to conserve and responsibly utilize coastal and marine resources. Specifically, I incorporate approaches from both the marine sciences and resource economics to explore relationships among policy interventions, human behavior, and environmental outcomes. I specialize in the design of lab experiments and field surveys to investigate these relationships. I earned my Ph.D. and M.S. in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics from the University of Rhode Island.
