Hi! I'm a 3rd year graduate studying meltwater in the polar regions. I came to CU from Colorado School of Mines where I recieved a BS in Geophysical Engineering. In 2019 I recieved a NASA FINESST Fellowship to study subsurface lakes in Antarctica. Currently I am working on a project that analyses global climate model CESM2's performance over Antarctica and a separate project that uses a snow model to analyze firn properties on Antarctic ice shelves.

Outside of research, I enjoy hiking, camping, skiing, playing soccer, and painting!
