Hello! I’m a 3rd year PhD student at the University of California, Santa Cruz working with Tamara Pico and Emily Brodsky.

Research Interests

My research focuses on climate-solid earth interactions across varying magnitudes and timescales. I’m currently working on:

  • Internal Waves: Characterizing ocean stratification with internal waves using pressure and seismic seafloor instrumentation
  • Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA): Investigating GIA-induced stress changes on the Queen Charlotte Fault over the last deglaciation (26 ka)

About me

I earned my BSc. in Geophysics with a minor in Applied Math from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington. During my time there, I conducted research with Brad Lipovsky in the Environmental Geophysics and Computation research group.

In 2022, I completed an internship on the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. During the internship, I led multiple 3-mile glacier hikes each day, guiding tourists and researchers through the glacial terrain. My responsibilities included ensuring the safety of the participants, as well as providing them with insights into glacial features and history.

I am currently at UCSC working in the Pico Group and Seismology Lab!
