They/Them

I am queer and I am an igneous petrologist. //

I am queer and I am a geologist. My research focuses on understanding the petrogenesis of the ocean crust, specifically looking at mid-ocean ridge systems and the minerals observed in those rocks. I live in the Pacific Northwest and love to climb, hike, and camp. When I am not climbing volcanoes on my days off, I'm usually cooking vegan food or hanging out with friends.
