About Me
About Me
I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2025 with my bachelors degree in Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity. After graduating, I worked as a post-baccalaureate researcher in the Isotopologue Paleosciences Laboraty at the University of Michigan before moving on to do my PhD at the University of Wyoming.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, canoeing, birding, and playing the flute and the guitar.
