Welcome!

I am a geology PhD student in the ice core and quaternary geochemistry lab in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. Together with my lab group, I use ice cores from polar glaciers to learn about the Earth’s past climate and how it changed over time. My research focuses on using noble gas ratios as a proxy for past melting events.

I am also a writer and poet who loves to examine the intersections between science, history, and literature. My work has been featured in several publications, including Cicada magazine, the Boston University Beacon, and The Cryptonaturalist podcast.
