Bio


Australian immigrant. First-gen undergraduate student. Grateful and proud to be at UC Davis. 

Researching not just how the world's economies have lead to this climate crisis but, by extension, how this climate crisis prompts new economic relationships between peoples of conflicting worldviews. My research currently situates this question in Australia's Top End region, focusing on how settler and Aboriginal forms of governance and land management are hybridizing to newly manage issues concerning bushfires, industrial mining, ecological conservation, military intelligence, and Native Title claims, among others.  

Advisors: Suzana Sawyer, James Smith.
