I am a Master’s student in the School of Earth Sciences (SES) and working as a student researcher in the Ice Core Geochemistry and Climate Change (IC⁴) group. Before joining SES, I received my undergraduate degree from OSU in Neuroscience. My current interests include ice core paleoclimatology, aeolian geochemistry, and polar microbiology. Presently, the project I’m working on involves investigating the habitability of glacier ice for microbial life.
