Professional Background

I’ve built a distinguished career in environmental law and policy, with expertise in fossil fuel infrastructure, public safety, clean energy, environmental justice, and sustainability.

I apply my expertise to a range of environmental topics in my consulting practice, although I specialize in fossil fuels. I’ve provided analysis and strategy guidance on land use ordinances and environmental legislation. Published research topics include: the safety and climate implications of natural gas facilities, the hazards of fossil fuel transportation, liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility analyses and accident investigations, and petrochemical facility impacts.

Writing and Support Links

I publish my writing on this website, Substack, and Medium. A paid subscription to my Substack or Patreon supports my research and writing across platforms. See Links and Support for other support options.

Education

I’m a graduate of Vanderbilt University Law School, where I received a Chancellor’s Law Scholarship and American Bar Association fellowship in environmental law. I was the managing editor of the Environmental Law & Policy Annual Review and served on the ABA International Energy & Resources Transactions Committee. I also hold a Master’s of Education and undergraduate degrees in both English and African-American Studies.
