About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher based at Georgia Tech and working with Rutgers University Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. In my research I use numerical modeling to modeling ocean circulation beneath a dense mélange pack within a fjord, including effects on melting of icebergs at the ocean interface. My PhD was focused specifically Antarctic Glaciers and their lateral boundaries. I discovered my passion for exploring and understanding the natural world when I was young through hiking day trips, backpacking at summer camp, and through scouting. In high school, I was drawn to math and physics and how these subjects could be used to explain the dynamics of the world around me. In undergrad, I continued my journey with a BS in Physics while also applying this physics tool set to the natural world, earning an MS in geophysics.
I now work with Alex Robel (Georgia Tech) and Becca Jackson (Rutgers) focusing on ocean/glacier interactions in Greenlandic fjords on the GLACIOME project. I am excited to broaden my academic experience working with ocean modeling. I additionally and very excited to join the vibrant cryosphere community at these institutions.
I hope to continue my career as an educator, aiming to provide accessible, engaging and enjoyable learning opportunities to students. I have developed and practiced this as a teaching assistant in Geophysics, teaching apprenticeships in the Stanford Outdoor Adventure program, and through engaging with the Stanford Center for Teaching and Learning.
