I am a PhD candidate in Geology in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin. I also work full-time as a Research Scientist Associate III at the Bureau of Economic Geology, where I serve as a structural geologist in the Center for Injection and Seismicity Research (CISR).

My professional and academic research are closely aligned and mutually reinforcing, allowing me to engage in both applied and fundamental research in ways that deepen and support one another.

My research interests include field and subsurface mapping, fault characterization, kinematic modeling, and fault-slip hazard assessment.

Beyond research, I delight in the natural patterns and joyful moments found in nature.
