Dartmouth University, New Hampshire, USA

Member-at-large

I will begin my PhD adventure in Earth Sciences this fall (2009), working in Dr. Robert Hawley's Glaciology lab. I circuitously came to Dartmouth College via an Honours degree in Antarctic Studies from the University of Tasmania at Hobart (2007). Prior to that, I studied at the University of California at Berkeley, fought wildland fires in the western US, served as a Team Leader and Service Learning Coordinator with AmeriCorps (NCCC), and experienced polar life via the US Antarctic Program. As part of IGERT and under the tutelage of Dr. Hawley, I hope to investigate the role of glaciers within the climate change conversation.

Born and raised in California, I enjoy the outdoors, improvisational acting, a good root beer, and helicopters.
