I am a postdoctoral associate at Yale University in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology working with Assistant Professor Eric Slessarev . In the fall of 2023, I finished my PhD in Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon working with Josh Roering in the UO Geomorphology lab. I also collaborate with the Soil, Plant, Atmosphere (SPA) lab run by Professor Lucas Silva .

I attended Macalester College where I received a B.A. in Geology. There I studied how environmental stressors (increased water velocity and suspended sediment loads) affect freshwater river mussel populations and behavior in four watersheds throughout the state and in the Outdoor Stream Lab at St. Anthony Falls Lab (University of Minnesota).

My research interests include

• Erosion rate influence on soil properties and SOC stocks
• Landslides and SOC
• Deep weathering profiles in the Oregon Coast Range (OCR)
• LiDAR change detection
