ABOUT

I am a first-generation college student raised by parents who worked seasonal jobs in the skiing and whitewater rafting industries.  Being raised between Alta, Utah and Polson, Montana (in the winters and summers, respectively) instilled a deep respect and curiosity for the natural world. Big mountains, clean rivers, and small communities.  I feel fortunate to research the Earth system and will keep learning and enthusiastically teaching for the rest of my life.  

​

For fun: running, yoga, climbing mountains, whitewater, skiing, kendama and juggling, dancing, reading, and watching movies.  I love maps, space exploration and rockets, tying knots, and listening to experimental bass music.
