ABOUT ME

Welcome! Thanks for being here. I am a PhD candidate at Virginia Tech studying access to trees and forests for refugees and hosts in the Imvepi Refugee Settlement, northwest Uganda. This blog will share some of my experiences over nine months of fieldwork, and hopefully give you a taste of what it is like. I'd love to hear from you and please be in touch.
