I was honored to have been profiled in an undergraduate-level introductory human geography textbook: Contemporary Human Geography: Culture, Globalization, Landscape.

It’s part of the book’s Geography @ Work feature, through which professional geographers working in various employment capacities — from journalists to climate scientists — offer their perspectives on geography as an intellectual and career pursuit.
