  • Postdoctoral Fellow
  • GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES

I'm a New England native and recently defended my Ph.D. in Geobiology at Caltech where I worked with Professors Alex Sessions and John Eiler. In Fall 2024, I begin a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowship at CU Boulder where I will work with Professor Boz Wing. My work focuses on the microbial ecology of environments that lack oxygen and the unsung bacteria that make our planet habitable.
