Biographical Statement:  I am a first-year Master’s student in the Climate Change Institute working with Aaron Putnam and George Denton. I graduated from UMaine in 2023 with a B.S. in Ecology and Environmental Sciences. As part of the Sea to Sky experience, I was able to visit the beautiful regions of Juneau, Alaska, and the Yukon, Canada. I have always been passionate about the climate sciences, particularly glaciology and climate change. I grew up in Massachusetts just outside Boston and enjoy being outside in Maine’s breathtaking scenery. I am excited to continue my academic career at UMaine and explore incredible places.

Research Areas: Glaciology, Glacial Geology, Atmospheric Climate Reconstruction.
