Peri Brimley

Peri Brimley is a 2025 PERC graduate fellow and a 5^th-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wyoming studying environmental economics and environmental policy. Her current research examines the way that federal wildfire management strategies develop in response to ecological outcomes and public preferences. She is passionate about developing policy that prioritizes the protection and sustainability of the environment against climate change. Her research interests largely developed from being born and raised in the Intermountain West, where she was regularly exposed to the complex dynamics of public land policy while simultaneously enjoying the extraordinary benefits associated with access to those spaces.
