Environmental Governance & Policy Innovation
I teach public policy at Cal State Fullerton and study how institutions tackle environmental challenges. My research spans watershed governance, energy transitions, environmental justice, and how technology transforms public administration.
Research
I study how institutions shape environmental outcomes. My current work explores energy policy in fossil fuel regions, environmental risk distribution, blockchain in governance, and collaborative climate solutions.
Teaching & Background
I teach public administration and policy analysis at CSUF. My courses blend theory with practical applications, helping students connect classroom concepts to real-world policy decisions.
From the American South to Southern California, I bring diverse perspectives to environmental policy work. Outside the classroom, I explore California's landscapes and stay connected to my roots through The Bitter Southerner .
Current Work
I'm studying watershed management effectiveness, energy policy in oil/gas regions, surveillance technology adoption, and blockchain applications in governance.
