I've had the privilege to work in a paleoclimate reconstruction lab under Terrence Quinn and Jud Partin since the fall of 2016. I study fossil coral sea surface temperature records to reconstruct variability in El Niño Southern Oscillation over the Holocene.

In 2018 embarked on my six-month adventure in Dublin, Ireland. There, I had the opportunity to learn about the geology of this beautiful country. Having the chance to learn from and collaborate with geoscientists of diverse backgrounds was an unforgettable experience.
Check out the beautiful columnar basalts at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Giant's Causeway located in Northern Ireland!
For six weeks in the summer of 2018, the students of the Jackson school of Geosciences ventured out to explore the country and see the rocks. We made stops in Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana.

I have been a member of the Texas Lonestars Service organization since the fall of 2015. Additionally, I served as the New Member chair for the Fall 2017 semester.
As an organization, we strive to serve the Austin community through acts of service. We work closely with organizations like the Austin Animal Center and the Austin Parks and Recreation. The members also run our registered non-profit organization, Project Princess.
