About Me
I am currently a postdoctoral research geologist at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. With my research I'm interested in the ways we can use remote sensing of planetary surfaces to determine their history and evolution. Specifically, I study how a body’s interior, atmosphere, and changing orbit can shape its surface over time. These research interests have taken me to some pretty incredible places like Iceland, Japan, and Scotland.

When I'm not traveling and researching, I'm spending time with my partner Sasha and our cat Biko.
