About Anna

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources at Colorado State University. My expertise spans ecology and social sciences with a focus on human-environment relationships, environmental conservation and governance, and gendered livelihoods. My work highlights the roles and knowledge of women in small-scale fisheries in Brazil and Alaska, showing how management and policy should include women in fisheries decision-making. Other recent projects include engaging youth in wildlife conservation and improving participation and experiences in recreational fishing. My work aims to contribute to conservation stewardship for land and livelihood sovereignty, and environmental justice and access and rights to natural resources. I have almost 20 years of experience in environmental conservation and natural resource management and have worked for NGOs and government.
