I’m interested in using natural systems to address broad geomorphic questions and connecting field-based and modeling approaches to understand the impacts of climate and land use change on Earth’s landscapes.

I graduated from Carleton College with a BA in Geology. Before starting my PhD I worked for a few years in the non-profit and local government sectors focusing on community outreach and public education relating to water pollution in the Twin Cities Metro Area. To learn more about my current projects, see my Research Page.
