About

I grew up in the Midwest and attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I graduated from UIUC with a B.S. in Geology and a B.A. in French Studies in 2015. In 2020, I finished my Ph.D. studies in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University, where I was also an affiliate of the Institute at Brown for Environment & Society (IBES). At Brown, my advisors were Prof. Yongsong Huang and Prof. Jim Russell. After graduating, I served as a postdoctoral research assistant at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. In August 2020, I joined the Environmental Science and Policy program at the College of William and Mary as a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow. I have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Auburn University since January 2022.
