Area(s) of Expertise
I am an interdisciplinary scientist by training, with research experiences in the fields of marine biology, public health, and aerosol chemistry. In addition to my scientific interests, I am passionate about science communication and am committed to expanding community-based research efforts through my work.
My PhD was spent in the field and laboratory, using various analytical instruments to better understand aerosol emissions from toxic cyanobacterial blooms. As a postdoc in the Hamilton lab, I will utilize earth system models to investigate links between wildfires, atmospheric chemistry, nutrient bioavailability and deposition rates, and freshwater quality at various spatiotemporal scales.
