About Me

41801815_10212863068311615_2077866982660

In 2012, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Geology from the University of New Hampshire (UNH). I was then employed for 2+ years as a lab technician within the Department of Earth Sciences at UNH as well as simultaneously employed with the New Hampshire Geological Survey.

​

Subsequently, I completed my PhD in geoscience at Rutgers University under the supervision of Prof. Jill VanTongeren. My dissertation focused on the magmatic and thermal evolution of the world's largest layered intrusion, the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.

​

​

While at completing my PhD, I helped manage and maintain both the (LA)-ICP-MS and Noble Gas laboratories. I also taught an 'Intro to Field Methods' course as well as led a week-long graduate student excursion to the Teton/Yellowstone region.

​

Currently, I am a postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University, working with Prof. Esteban Gazel to constrain mantle processes and volatile budgets through olivine-hosted melt inclusions.
