I’m a third year PhD student studying marine geochemistry. I got my B.A. in Environmental Earth Science in 2015 from Washington University in St. Louis. I started in the Masters program at SoMAS in August 2015, and then transferred into the PhD program the following semester. My current project focuses on understanding how trace metals like iron, manganese, zinc, and copper move between sediments and the water column in the Arctic Ocean. That means my field work gets very cold and very muddy! I am passionate about science communication because I want to share my experience of the amazing Arctic— not just its stunning beauty, but its deep importance to all of ourlives, no matter how far away we live!
