About

I am currently at Dartmouth College as the Guarini Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences. I grew up in southern California but have learned to love seasons (and snow!) from my time in New Hampshire and Minnesota. Outside of work, I love hiking, swimming, yoga, baking, and reading historical fiction.
