Research
Planetary science is interdisciplinary in nature, so I do my best to incorporate different perspectives and learn new things while honing my own craft. Because of this, my research interests are broad and varied.
Diversity
I am passionate about making the geosciences a diverse, equitable, and accessible workspace, especially for individuals with disabilities. I have recently begun work with the International Association for Geoscience Diversity (IAGD) as the executive student chair, where I act as a communication front to students and manage the student pathways scholarship awardee process.
