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

Research Interests

My research focuses on seismic expressions of climate variability, by analyzing climate-solid Earth interactions across timescales & phenomena.

• Internal Waves and Ocean Seismology: Characterizing ocean stratification with internal waves using seafloor pressure and seismic instrumentation
• Surface Load Induced Earthquakes: Investigating surface load induced seismicity on a global scale using Bayesian statistics
• Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) & Sea Level Modeling: 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. Our work focused on surface load induced seismicity (publication in review, 2025). During my undergraduate studies, I worked at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network organizing earthquake outreach and hazard preparedness for local communities and congressional districts.

In 2022, I completed an internship on the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. During the internship, I worked as a glacier guide, leading multiple glacier hikes each day, guiding tourists and researchers through 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 Seismology Lab and Pico Group!
