I am an undergraduate at the University of Washington (Seattle), majoring in Earth and Space Sciences (Biology) with a minor in Paleobiology, and plan to graduate Spring 2026. I am passionate about uncovering the history of life on Earth through the sedimentary rock record. 

I have a special interest in the evolution of life during the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic, especially by increasing our understanding of paleoenvironmental changes and extinction events. I currently work with Dr. Akshay Mehra and Dr. Christian A. Sidor on projects across both sedimentary geology and paleobiology: (i) studying river response to climate change through fluvial deposits from the Paleocene-Eocene of Wyoming, and (ii) describing Permian-aged vertebrates, including pareiasaurs (Parareptilia) and burnetiamorphs (Synapsida).

Beyond research, I enjoy sharing science with broader audiences. I have recently volunteered at multiple outreach events, helping kids explore the fascinating world of rocks and fossils. Combined with my experience assisting instruction of geology labs, these experiences have solidified my interest in pursuing a career that blends research with education.
