I graduated from Rutgers University - New Brunswick in May 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Geology with a focus in Planetary Science. As an undergraduate, I used visible-to-near-infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy for mineral identification on Mars, and completed my honors senior thesis, Presence of Widespread Hydrothermal Minerals in the Eridania Basin on Mars: Implications for Formation Mechanism, with the supervision of Dr. Lujendra Ojha.

As a PhD candidate at UT Austin, my research centers volatile cycling through high-temperature processes, like magmatic degassing, to understand the relationships between the interiors and surfaces of planets. In particular, my research centers volcanic emissions of water and sulfur on early Mars to investigate the climate and potential habitability of early Mars. I also utilize thermodynamic modeling to model magmatic degassing and sulfur cycling on Io, a Galilean satellite, to investigate its sulfur inventory and distribution.

In the summer of 2025, I participated in the Planetary Science Summer School through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Through this educational program, I worked on a 18-person team to conceptualize a mission to Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn. Our mission concept, the Enceladus Chemistry and Habitability Observer (ECHO), proposed flying through the plume on and orbiting around Enceladus to characterize the salinity of the subsurface ocean and plume independently, search for organic molecules, and determine the internal heating mechanism.

In addition to research, I am passionate about improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in the geosciences, as well as science communication and outreach. In the past, I have interned with the Rutgers Geology Museum in the aid of the VirtualGEO project to create accessible, virtual field trips of geologically relevant field sites in New Jersey. I served as a summer communications intern for EarthScope (previously UNAVCO) in both 2021 and 2022. Currently at UT Austin, I am an editor for Science Y'all, the Jackson School's graduate student blog. I am also the Student Representative for the American Geophysical Union's Planetary Sciences section.
