I'm a Ph.D. candidate with a research focus on federal Native-American reservation land-use policy pertaining to rights of way determinations for energy, water, and transportation development. My dissertation (in-progress) looks at four Southern California tribes and their individual efforts to negotiate consent, consultation, and compensation for federal use of reservation lands. By using the over-arching theme of natural resource extrapolation, this effort intends to offer new insight into established notions of twentieth-century federal capitalist expansion/enterprise, and its long-term effect on Native-American sovereignty and tribal natural resources.

In 2008, I joined the cultural resources team at ICF International, an environmental compliance firm. As historian and architectural historian, my work focuses primarily on historical research, fieldwork inventories, and cultural resource evaluations for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). I also assess various components of the historic built-environment (buildings/structures) for historical significance and subsequent eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
I'm listed in the California Council for the Promotion of History's Register of Professional Historians (# 607)
