Amongst adolescents, school connectedness has been found to predict positive student wellbeing (i.e., self esteem and depression). The present study plans to replicate these result with college students, whom experience daily stress. For some students this daily stress includes acculturative stress (i.e., psychological process of adapting to a dominant group that differs from one's heritage), which is negatively associated with wellbeing. We will examine how school connectedness buffers this association.

Mapping the worldviews and ideologies of Humboldt County

Conducting this research study to learn more about how on-campus students participate in physical activity and explore the local community. You are invited to participate in this survey if you are a student at HSU and live on campus. Your part in this study involves responding to a 10-minute online survey on Survey Monkey about your current participation in physical activity and community engagement. Your participation in this study is voluntary. Risks and Benefits: There are minimal possible risks involved for participants. You may feel uncomfortable answering questions about your physical activity participation.

I developed a mobile dog food pantry to meet the needs of unsheltered pets across Humboldt County. Using donations from various sources and implementing similar models used by local nonprofits, I developed access to pet food in areas with an unmet need.

An exploration of various spatial phenomena using the Dymaxion Projection (aka Fuller Projection).

As the global population grows, ensuring sustainable food and energy systems becomes increasingly important. While solar panels support clean energy goals, they can displace prime agricultural land and critical habitat for native grazers in coastal grasslands. Agrovoltaics—integrating solar infrastructure with land used for agriculture or grazing—offers a promising compromise. However, research on solar microgrids in coastal grassland ecosystems remains limited. This study examines how solar microgrids impact soil quality and forage potential in these sensitive landscapes.
