I support the Permafrost Pathways team by installing and maintaining equipment in the Arctic to monitor carbon and methane fluxes from permafrost. My work contributes to improving climate models and predictions of Arctic conditions, which help inform Arctic communities’ climate adaptation decisions.
I graduated from the University of Arizona where I received a bachelor’s degree in ecology with a minor in mathematics. While at the University of Arizona, I researched soil biogeochemistry at Biosphere 2’s Landscape Evolution Observatory (LEO), where I became interested in the role of soil microbes in our planet’s response to climate change. I aim to continue my studies in the field of biogeochemistry by pursuing a graduate degree in the future.
My upbringing in Montana has inspired my passion for earth science and community engagement in rural areas. I now live on Cape Cod and enjoy backpacking, photography, and mountain biking in my free time.
