I am currently a T.C. Chamberlin and NSF EAR postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago, where I chiefly collaborate with Clara Blättler.

In 2022 I received a PhD in Geochemistry from Caltech for research conducted with Jess Adkins and Woodward Fischer. During graduate school I was supported by the Hertz Fellowship and the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. Prior to Caltech, I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University in 2015 with a degree in Geosciences and certificates in Environmental Studies and Planets & Life. I conducted research with Daniel Sigman, John Higgins, and Gerta Keller, and I was awarded the Edward Sampson, Class of 1914, Prize in Environmental Geosciences.

Outside of research, I play with my retired racing greyhound, named Tethys. I enjoy reading popular science books, typically about earth history and the history of earth science, and I wrote the wikipedia article on the reference materials used in stable isotope analysis.
