Research

My research focused on urban drought management in southern California. I hope to contribute to the research community by engaging in dialogue about the challenges and solutions we face in creating sustainable water systems for urban communities. In partnership with the Water Efficiency staff at the Irvine Ranch Water District, I analyze urban water conservation datasets to understand the influential factors and drivers behind participation in conservation programs.
