I'm an environmental historian and Ph.D. student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. My work focuses on the North Atlantic cod fisheries. I'm particularly interested in the pivotal role the ocean and marine life play as historical actors. My master's thesis analyzed cod's agency in early modern fisheries and their potential to cause change on land and sea. 

I am also a podcaster for the IndyCast, a climber, a trail runner, and an environmental activist.
