A Bit About Me

Hello! I am a PhD student in the department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Riverside working in the Lyons Biogeochemistry Group. I completed my undergraduate degree at Oklahoma State University working on microbially mediated trace metal cycling in marine sediments in the Riedinger Lab.

Several of the topics I am currently interested in include: modern marine trace metal geochemistry, the impact of trace metal cycling during diagenesis on the in situ microbial community, and the process of marine silicate weathering and its role in the Earth's carbon cycle.
