Research Interests: Magmatic Storage & Timescales, Volcanology, Geologic Hazards, Geochronology, Igneous Petrology
I grew up in Hudson, Massachusetts, where I developed a passion for geology and volcanology at a very early age. I completed my Bachelors in Geoscience at Union College in Schenectady, NY, where I was an active member of the Geo Club, Dance Program, and campus sustainability initiatives until graduating in June 2024. Here, I expanded upon my interest in magmatic processes and developed a passion for science outreach and communication. During my time at Union, I also completed a minor in Spanish and spent a semester abroad at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in Argentina. I now live in Laramie, Wyoming where I am pursuing my Master's in Geology with a focus in igneous petrology.
