I study ice sheet and solid Earth interactions. In particular, I investigate the effects of 3D Earth structure in Antarctica on sea level, geodetic observations, and inferences of local solid Earth properties. I developed my passion for Antarctica and Earth Sciences via undergraduate research; using datasets collected during my Antarctic fieldwork I worked to expand our understanding of the ice sheet and its subglacial conditions. As a community, I believe the science we undertake is necessarily tied to the human condition. I advocate for lasting policy impact as a member of the Harvard Science Policy Group, most recently as one of ~100 Earth scientists who lobbied Congress during the 2019 Geosciences Congressional Visit Day. A native Austinite, I double majored in physics &amp; liberal arts at the University of Texas at Austin. During my down time, one might find me practicing Kung Fu, rock climbing, and watching delightfully terrible movies.
