Welcome!

I am a climate scientist currently working as a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Climate and Extreme Event Risk Group at the University of California Irvine. 

Broadly speaking, my research investigates the drivers and patterns of past and future climate variability. I employ a variety of techniques -- including measurements of organic geochemical proxies in sedimentological archives, statistical analysis, and climate modeling -- in pursuit of an understanding of our climate system and how it responds to perturbations across centennial to glacial timescales.
