About
I am an assistant professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Delaware. Outside of the research described in our lab mission and vision statements, I enjoy reading (non-fiction, fantasy, cozy mysteries), outdoor activities (running, hiking, walking), and board games (current favorites include Wingspan, Sleeping Gods, and Food Chain Island).

About
My research is rooted in utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to identify challenges and best practices associated with green stormwater infrastructure as a strategy for managing stormwater runoff effectively, maximizing ecosystem services and co-benefits, and meeting environmental regulatory requirements and water quality standards. Outside of research, you can find me outside camping, hiking, and kayaking or inside at a museum, reading a book, or playing Nintendo Switch!

About
My overarching goal lies in making coastal communities resilient to climate change using either hydrological models or field works. In Dr. Voter’s lab, I work on integrating models to investigate how sea level rise impact groundwater, stormwater, and sanitary sewer facilities in coastal communities. Outside research, I love to spend a lot of time watching true crime series and every other mystery movie or show.
