Biography : 

My current research focuses around the influence of different Christian denominations on resilience to floods and droughts in the Peruvian Amazon. In this work, I focus on documenting the inevitable barriers and challenges these environmental events bring for development. This project contributes to a growing understanding of how complex factors of identity, like religion, contribute to the social resilience of rural communities affected by environmental hazards, which can be tied back directly to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies for Amazonia and similar regions.
