My research interests lie in water resource science and forecasting, with a focus on the impacts of climate extremes on our water resources. My interests solidified during a week-long outing in the Eastern Sierras, where I learned of California’s ongoing challenge to manage water resources.
As an undergrad, I was a Keck Geology intern, working in a protected watershed to examine the differences in water geochemistry between alpine streams and springs in the Rocky Mountains during a drought year.
At SF State, my research explored how climate variability affects groundwater levels in the United States. After I completed my master’s, I dabbled in environmental consulting as a hydrogeologist in the Northern California area.
Now I am back in Colorado, this time working towards a Ph.D. I study how extreme precipitation events affect groundwater levels.
