Bio

I received a B.S in geology & geophysics and chemistry from the University of Wisconsin Madison. As both a geoscientist and chemist I am interested in their intersection to better understand past climate and warm intervals throughout Earth history. Specifically, I am working with Dr. Sarah Aarons to study the isotopic composition of dust in ice cores from Antarctica as a "fingerprint" of its provenance as a proxy for past ice sheet extent and atmospheric circulation. Outside of the lab, I enjoy theatre and documentary filmmaking!
