Alexandra Friel

Alexandra has lived in Boise for 12 years and currently attends Boise State University as an undergraduate majoring in Geosciences with an emphasis in Geophysics. Alexandria currently works in tandem with graduate students in the cryoGARS Lab to determine iceberg size distributions and their melt rates, and she hopes to continue this research for her Master’s degree. Alexandra also works in a CNC machine shop where she is able to design devices and prototypes for the engineering and geosciences departments. She is currently working building a calcimeter case for one of the geoscience labs with the goal of improving the way they conduct experiments. Alexandria enjoys the problem solving and design process. When she is not at school, she enjoys spending time with her cat Carlos,  playing hockey, playing heavy metal bass, and enjoying the outdoors.
