Biographical Statement: I am a MS student in Earth and Climate Sciences and a research trainee in the Systems Approach to Understanding and Navigating the New Arctic (SAUNNA) NRT program. Prior to arriving at UMaine, I was an undergraduate student in Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, where my research in the UVA Ice and Ocean Group focused on geomorphology and paleo-glacial lake characteristics. I was also a student in the Global Studies program, where my research focused on the philosophy of science and its application to coastal environments. I am originally from Australia, where I lived on a sailboat for my early years before moving to rural Virginia near the Chesapeake Bay — saltwater and coasts have always felt like home, and I look forward to getting to know these higher-latitude (Maine and the Arctic) places too!
