Her background is grounded in architectural design and urban regional planning with a focus on demographic analysis. She earned her Master's in Architecture from Tulane University in 2013 and has worked as an architect in the San Francisco Bay Area, pursuing further education. Schwaller completed her Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina in 2022, after which she held a one-year postdoctoral position at Brown University in the Population Studies and Training Center. Her research is motivated by the recognition that climate change necessitates significant population shifts, and she is particularly interested in understanding the dynamics of areas becoming increasingly uninhabitable and the destinations to which displaced populations migrate. Her work focuses on understanding the reasons for migration in vulnerable regions, identifying the destinations for displaced populations, and exploring strategies to facilitate equitable relocation under deteriorating environmental conditions.
