  • PCC Undergraduate Assistant
  • UCo Leadership

I am an Oceanography undergraduate pursuing minors in chemistry and climate sciences. I am particularly interested in biogeochemical cycles in extreme environments including regions of high latitude, high altitude, hypoxia, and limited nutrients. I find purpose in connecting these interests back to climate impacts, the carbon cycle, and refining future projections. I have been the Undergraduate Assistant for the Program on Climate Change since winter 2024 and help lead the Undergraduate Cohort (UCo). I also am an administrative and trip lead with the Hiking Club at UW and I love talking about the outdoors.
