Most of my responsibilities center on the research goals of the Hub, including assembling research teams, facilitating communication between each research team, and supporting the graduate student research assistants on each team. What environmental/climate justice issue are you particularly passionate about? One environmental justice issue that I'm passionate about is lead poisoning, particularly in New York. I've been studying lead for almost eight years now, and it is also the focus of my dissertation. Lead poisoning is a climate justice issue because elevated levels of lead exposure in New York are typically found in communities already overburdened by intersecting environmental hazards. What excites you most about working with the Hub? Working at the Hub has been my favorite experience as a graduate student worker. The Hub's mission directly relates to my own dissertation research, and being able to aid environmental/climate justice groups in conducting meaningful research to help working-class communities across New York feels like a natural extension of my academic agenda. Plus, having great coworkers who are extremely accommodating has been a great help in expanding my professional repertoire while advancing toward a degree.
