About me
I am a second year Geology & Geophysics Master's student at the University of Wyoming. I completed my undergraduate studies in Geosciences at Penn State University in 2021. I am passionate about advancing science and improving the human relationship with nature by developing more sustainable practices. Since 2018, I have been involved in geoscience research and worked with Dr. Matt Fantle, Dr. Maureen Feineman, and Dr. Roman DiBiase on various projects involving effluent water chemistry, element mobility in subduction zones, and soil cover patterns in steep landscapes. Currently, I am working with Dr. Cliff Riebe and the Bedrock Critical Zone Network to investigate surface processes involving the deep critical zone. We are using depth profiles of cosmogenic radionuclides to quantify changes in erosion rates over time and validate soil production functions. We are working to understand the sensitivity of the critical zone to perturbations at Earth’s surface. |
Outside of research, I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and I love to play outside! I typically spend my free time hiking, paddling, climbing, biking, skiing - you name it. I also care deeply about protecting outdoor spaces and public lands.
