I have had the distinct pleasure of studying some of the most interesting and compelling problems in solar-terrestrial physics for nearly 15 years, since I began my graduate studies. My research focuses on plasma structuring and dynamics in the terrestrial ionosphere and magnetosphere. I employ observational techniques—both in situ and remote sensing—to study the many complex and interconnected processes that occur in Earth's geospace environment, with a particular focus on high latitudes. My work is highly rewarding, as it is intellectually challenging and allows me to interact and collaborate with many inspiring and brilliant people here in New Jersey and around the world.

I joined the faculty in the Department of Physics and the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in 2019. My academic journey in solar-terrestrial physics began in 2007 when I started my graduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan, having graduated the previous spring from the University of the Fraser Valley. After receiving my MSc in 2010, I was eager to continue my research and remained at Saskatchewan until I earned my PhD in 2015. I then joined the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) science team at the University of Calgary, where I worked until 2019, when I joined NJIT.

Since joining NJIT, I have been fortunate to work daily with world-class scientists and exceptionally bright students.
