Greetings! I am College of the Atlantic's resident economist. I use ecological, neoclassical, and, occasionally, Marxist perspectives in my courses, policy analysis, and research to explore complex phenomena such as globalization, economic growth and development, and environmental sustainability. As with all COA faculty, the use of a human ecological perspective has led me toward many other interests. My other primary interests include forest policy, rural and community development (both in the U.S. and in developing countries), feminist economics, and ecological entrepreneurship. If you'd like to learn more about me, you can check out my CV. (
