Brief biography: I earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of Kansas in 2007. My interest in public policy stems from my  bachelors degree program in Environmental Science from Northern Arizona University (2001). More often than not, it is a political issue that is at the heart of most environmental problems. Recently, I worked as an environmental consultant for coal and molybdenum mines as well as hydrocarbon operations in New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah.
